Unplanned Leave of Absents




I had no intentions of being gone from the blogging world for this long. It's been weird cause I so enjoy writing and sharing my little world here in Oklahoma.
It started with me trying to get the house in order for my daughter and the grandsons who were coming to visit the 3rd of January. They came and things changed.

First they were going to be here for 6 days but that changed to 2 weeks. Boy were we excited since we hadn't seen them in months and Grandpa aka "the man of the place" hadn't in almost a year. Seeing how they live in California and only I have been able to go out there to visit this past year. 
Then with a new job and finding a home to purchase, we have had the boys to ourselves while my daughter and her partner take care of it all back in California.
But it has been many, many, many years since my kids were 20 months, let alone 2 at the same time. Grandma has been able to keep up with them but boy by the time they go to bed this Grandma is ready to jump in hers too. 
But now for blogging, I'm not stopping but I know time is a issue with me and I realize posting will be inconsistent for a few more weeks so I hope you'll please keep checking back.
I try to make it worth your wild.
Until the next post

    It's good to know all is well and you are enjoying your grandsons. Exhausting I know but you will remember the fun and forget the tiredness. Have fun. I'll still be here when you get back.

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
