Let's Talk Goals



I can take care of two tasks at one time.
I need to review my Get-R-Dones
and 
weekly goal.

Lets get to the bad news first, I again did not complete my list if 4 from last month. It's not to say I didn't try.
1.  I did work on the 30's Row quilt and all I have left is the row I am going to change to house and then the border. So I am very close to done but NOT.
2. Did not go near the Sisters in Scriptures. I think I will put that one away and try again later this year. Still can not seem to get motivated on this one.
3. Christmas String did get worked on but not to the point it is done. I have a few more sashings to do and then sew on the two additional rows I felt it needed. Again close to done but NOT,
4. I did work on "Some Kind of Wonderful", I did complete that goal even though the top is not done. That wasn't my goal, just do some work on it.  Yea one done.
(1 out of 4)

April's 4
1. Is to have Laura's Quilt sewn, basted together and the quilting started.
2. To finish the 30's Row top
3. Have the Christmas String Quilt top done.
4. Have all the Pea Ridge Lily blocks prepped for appliqueing. That way I will have a project to work on in the month of May.



Weekly Goal was a success.
It was to finish cleaning out the bathroom closet now that I had taken care of my yarn stash.
BEFORE                                              AFTER

A lot better if I say so myself. I even have room to add something more. (Heaven knows that won't take long)  Now what's left after I started organizing my yarn stash,
it's my needles and hooks.

Yes that is them all thrown into this tub. They were in a canvas bag that I would rummage through to find a set. 
Total chaos...
Now I would like to go through them all and organize them in some sort of needle holder. 
Something like this but different.
 
Need something the hold all my circulars also besides my crochet hooks.
Well that's this weeks goal.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

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
