A finish and a big head

I can finally say I finish the Christmas String quilt. Just in time to be finish for this months Git-R-Done. My first one and what 3 days left in the month. 


All I need now is to get a backing for it. 



Now for the big head and its not me. 
Some of the veggies in the garden are getting ready to be harvested. Been a slow start this growing season with a late freeze and the delay of  getting the plants in the ground.
Plus I missed out on the first main harvest of my broccoli but was able to get second and third pickings. But happily right now some of the cabbage is ready to harvest.
This is my first head of cabbage and its a biggie. Almost 10 inches across and a few oz. short of 6 lbs. 


I see sauerkraut making in my near future.

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        ...

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 c...
