My Slow Sunday

Today has been a very relaxing, slow Sunday. The weather has been cold, rainy and a just stay inside day. So the "Man of the Place" and I finished our taxes, boy what a relief. Then the wild turkeys that have been coming around the house for the past month decided that a few of them wanted to just hang out and do some preening on our fence.



Boy turkeys are big birds, I enjoy having them around to watch. You see I have a thing for turkeys besides eating turkey for Thanksgiving. I have a collection of Turkey Platters and a couple of Turkeys on the nest. They are not that easy to find in the antique shops around here. I've seen them on ebay but haven't bought any.
Any way back to my slow day, 
For dinner I made Navy Beans with Ham Hocks and Cornbread using the Buttermilk I made. It what I call
COMFORT FOOD. 
Now for what I've been working on today is the socks
I started this past Tuesday and I have to say for what little time I have spent knitting, they have gone quickly. 


I'm on the toes now and will probably start the other one this evening. 
So far so good!
This pattern and method will be a keeper.
Hope your Sunday was as relaxing as mine.



Now my Week 10 Stash Report

I was a bad girl, so bad.
I have such a weakness for blue and when I seen this I just didn't have the willpower to stay away.

    Those blues are fabulous. I would have done the same. I need to start to learn how do knit socks since I'm seeing so many beautiful yarns lately. I love the colors in your sock.

    I too love turkeys. We hand-raised some when our girls were little and they made very nice pets. Many is the time I'd look up and see a girl run by the window with a turkey tucked under her arm! They used to take those birds on the swing and slide with them and never got pecked or scratched. The birds even used to roost on us when we went and sat down in the grass with them.

    Trying to resist blue and white fabrics is futile. :)

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        ...

It's for the Birds

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
