Egg Sucker Update



I wanted to give a short update to my lost of eggs.
I had comments about that maybe it was one of the hens doing the crime and I have had that happen before. So I would go out to the hen house many times throughout the day to gather eggs instead of just a couple times a day like I have been doing, hoping that I would catch who was eating the eggs.
Well low and behold I did.
Wasn't any of the ideas of who I thought was the cause.
Remember I thought it could be a possum due to no chickens
 (other than Love Machine) 
being killed. 
Than with the responses to my last post on the chickens the thought of a hen doing the deed was a very good possibility.



But no I was so wrong
I got a glimpse of the thief leaving the house and escaping before I could do anything.





Yes it's a raccoon. 
Why no chickens have been harmed during these times I do not understand but I'm very grateful. So Ricky here will be caught and relocated to another place. 
Away from my hens




The girls will be doing the happy dance soon!

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...
