I'm Still Here

Since I last written it has been a whirl wind of activities around me.





I had the garden to prep and plan and have it hooked up to an automatic timer (my new toy for this year for the garden) for watering while gone but it's been so wet and cool since I left I had "The Man of the Place" turn it off for now. With that rain come the threaths of tornados and that is one thing I do not miss. 
I'm at my daughters now visiting and enjoying my Grandsons. They turned 3 and they are so sweet but they are also typical little 3 year olds. Full of energy and talking a mile a minute.



You can guess that when evening comes this Grammy is pretty tired. 
Now I did bring some piecework to do and have done some. 



I did finish the last two blocks of Rubys Garden before I came, so I hope to work on getting those set when I get back.

The drive was a very pleasant one and I did get to listen to a couple of books on the way and 
I liked them both. The first one was "Life from Scratch" by Sasha Martin



She has a blog that she has her recipes posted on that is called Global Table Adventure




and the second book is "Same Kind of Different As Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together
By Ron Hall




I did start "The Girl on The Train" and so far it is very interesting and I am looking forward to finishing that one. I have also downloaded "The Blue Zone" and "Crying Blood" by Donis Casey her 5th book of the Alafair Tucker Mysteries.

  1. Your garden is looking wonderful and those boys are just adorable. I know the feeling I had all four of my Grandchildren visit at the weekend, it was wonderful but exhausting.

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.

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        ...
