Yarn Along 4-10

Being that it a wonderful stormy day I have been sewing and now taking a little time to knit I thought I would show what I am working on. It is one of the projects I had started and put up and  found when going through my yarn stash. 

It's a baby hat that I probably started when the "little dudes" were waiting to come and for some forgotten reason just quit.
I'll finish it and donate it to the hospital the "little dudes" were born at. I have a couple more I have made to add to it.
 Now for what I'm listening to is still the "Friendship Bread"
Almost done, maybe 40 mins. left.


This one of 2 book over a Maigold''s Loft for the Reading Book Club.
The first book "The Book Thief" I loved and recommend it to you as a good read. I loved how the writer told the story. It was one of those books you wish would continue on.
And for this book it's not my type. I know this type of book is very popular but to me it is just too predictable and common. I do admit I will like to maybe try some of the recipes given but other than that it was flat for me. 
So I going to go around some of the others who linked up and see if I can find another good read.

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,...
