Yarn Along

It's been awhile since I have shared any of my knitting or crocheting projects.  
I finally finish the crochet slippers I made for "the little dudes"
Thomas the Train


I had to remake them cause the first set were too small. Seeing how they live over 1200 miles away I couldn't try them on before I got too far. 


I could not get a good picture of the boys wearing them. You know how hard it is to try to get them to stay still. 


They really like their slippers.


What I'm reading right now is Little Farm In the Foothill. I can so relate to the author. It's a fun read.

Product Details

I made a goal for myself to read at least 25 books this year. I would like to have around 10 of them to be ones I've read and not listen to. I can listen to a book a lot faster than I can read. But I do enjoy reading.
To keep track of my progress I'm making a list of the ones I read and listen to this year. If interested your'll find it here

    Fun, fun slippers. I've never kept track of how many books I read per year. Good luck with your goal of finishing 25.

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...
