Stunned

I knew that Bonnie Hunter was a popular lady but I just did not realize how popular she is. Since I posted my version of her Easy Street  Quilt, I have had 2000 visitors. I have never had so many people visit my blog before in 36 hours.
  AMAZING 

Thank you everyone and I hope to have my quilt put together by next week and will update the last post.

Now to new stuff, how did I do with last weeks goal, cleaning up my blog. Well those of you that visit before can you tell I cleaned it up? I took a lot of the sidebar links and such off or moved them to a page of their own. Up at the top is a tab for weekly linky hops, parties, etc. 
I finally added all the egg recipes I've made to its page. And then there is a page for the tutorial for various thing I've made. 
I have a couple more idea floating in my mind but not sure how to go about it. So there might be a few more changes. 
The one thing I did think about changing was the blog picture. I have had that one from the start and I think I might go for a change. Again it's in planning stage.

Now what's week 2 goal.

I need to clean out the spare bedroom. 

What do you think? 



There is a hide away bed under all that stuff.



Real mess isn't it. I have to say this is embarrassing, it's like looking in my undies drawer.
As you can see it's a catch all for odds and ends and then there is the over flow from my sewing room.
So these are the before pictures and I will show the after next Tuesday.

    We'll I'll try again, my post blew up! Organizing and cleaning is always good for the soul. I always donate stuff too, it frees up some space, and if it's buried I never missed it. I'm re-doing my blog a bit too, going for a more seasonal look. I'll spend my next holiday restoring all the pics I accidently deleted. That will take a while...

    Looks like the spare room may take a little longer than the blog clean up. Good luck with it all.

    That room sure looks familiar. LOL Getting things cleaned up will help you mentally, it's a good time to brainstorm.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott
