What's Up

It is unbelievable to me that I have only written 3 times this month.  I have been wanting to sew but just haven't had the time because of working in the veggie garden maintaining, harvesting and planting the fall crops. It has been a very good year in the garden and I have been harvesting a tremendous amount produce. 

This is from last Saturday's harvest and I have picking like this 3 or 4 times a week this past month. Except for the acorn squash it varies in what I pick. The green beans are done producing which was a good year, a little over a 100 lbs.
That also means I have been very busy getting it put up. 



The major part is over for now so I hope to get busy working on one of the many projects I have started. So today I went into my sewing room to see what I could work on. 
I haven't been in that room for nearly a month now and this is what I walked into

What a mess!!!
At least the plants are still alive. 
I have pretty much just been dumping things in there as you can see for yourself. 
What did I do but turn around and figure I'll tackle that tomorrow.
I am still quilting on my daughters quilt and I guess that I'll stick with that today.

    Wow! I'm in awe of your canning skills! Just think how good all that will taste in the cold, dark winter.

    I don't have a designated sewing area but believe me, all my "stash" areas look a lot worse than your sewing room. :)

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        ...

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,...
