A Little Dreaming and Knitting

After having the little dudes all to myself these past couple of weeks, Mommy arrived last night to visit and prepare them for the trip home. 
So needless to say Grandma has a little time on her hands to get working on things I had started before they came a month ago.

The Whole Seed Catalog is from Baker Creek Farm

One is getting back to planning this years veggie garden.
I have been going through the seed catalogs I have received in the mail, along with  a catalog I found at Whole Foods from the seed company Baker Creek Farm which just happen to be the book written by the founder of that company that I am reading (slowly). 

It has been a good read so far, now that is if you enjoy reading about gardening and such.

 Then for knitting I had made great progress on the sweaters for the boys and it looked like I was going to have them completed before they arrived but I just happen to get the flu and that put me out of commission the week before they came.
And yes I did not heed the advise of getting the flu shot. I really need to talk to my doctor about finding one I can take, the flu is no fun.
So this is the first one completed.



And this is what I have so far done on the second one.
I am so thrilled that they are the right size, in fact they are a little big so they can get some uses out of them.


 Little FYI the shot I received for the carpal tunnel I have in both wrist worked wonderfully. My hands and fingers do not go numb on me while knitting. I know that this is a temporary fix but I am sure  enjoying the relief.

    Dear Kat,
    first I want to wish a goog health to you!
    The sweaters are pretty. I'm sure they will love them. Seed catalogs? I really love them, love to turming the pages read all and dream of a garden full of vegetables and fruits. I always had vegetables grown in my gardens, but now we live in a settlement in the woods. It's really nice her and i love to live in this quiet area, but there is not enough sun for vegetables.
    But I get looking whats happen in your garden plots.
    Greetings Marle

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        ...

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...
