My Slow Sunday

My Sunday was a nice one with my grandsons and doing a little stitching and crocheting.

The "Little Dudes are obsessed with Thomas the Train 



I decided to make slippers for the boys and had them made before I came but they were too small. Now I'm doing a redo.
They will look something like this.
Pattern is here at ravelry 


And when not crocheting I am working on the Pea Ridge Lily blocks. I'm getting there, half way done.

      if you crochet you ought to give them a try. I need to find a little one to give them to. Grandsons are such fun, aren't they

    That's quite a train layout the boys have there. My daughter would have been in alt at that set up when she was that age. For now her Thomas trains are boxed up and stored in he attic waiting for the day she has little ones to come play with them.

      They sure enjoy those trains. Someday I imagine that will happen to their trains too. They grow up way too fast. Good memories tho, Kate

    Love the photo of the kids playing. Takes me back to when my kids built roads out of clothespins and used hot wheel cars.

    Oh I remember the days of Thomas. I even had a video that we watched at nap time. Now that young boy is driving. Where did the time go. Cherish the time with them.

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...
