Here we go again



Hopefully this will be the last bout of arctic cold front, the high today was 17 with a wind chill of -3 and  in the morning the wind chill will be around -12.   
I did as little as possible outside, tended to the girls.
What I ended up doing was working on our taxes and we were able to get them completed and ready to be sent off.
And it was a perfect day also for a pot beans and ham, with of course a batch of corn bread. Now that is what I call comfort food.


So now it's some TV time, hot chocolate and knitting.
I figure I'm undecided and will work on two projects this evening. I have a scarf I started for a friend and do not have much more left.


Then the sweaters for the "little dudes" are also close to be being done but doubt if I'll get them completed tonight.

The first one is almost completed
I need to lengthen the sleeves and sew it up, as you can see I had just pinned it together so I could try it on the boys. Isn't Ben cute.
I had someone ask me for the pattern I am using to make these and this is it.

    Oh, what cute "little dude" sweaters. And a cute "little dude" too. I'm surprised he cooperated with modeling. How sweet is that!

    I love that pattern, have the directions and have no idea how to make it so it fits my grand daughters. Any suggestions? Did you just start with the pattern and knit away and then try on? And, he is definitely too cute for words!

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.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1. I figure we need to refrain ourselves and keep it down to a couple episodes a night. Today I put a binding on another quilt from the pile. ...

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        ...
