I Love Sundays

Sunday is my favorite day of the week for many reasons.
First and foremost it is the Sabbath, which brings a sense of calmness for me. 
I try to do as little work as I can get away with here on the farm but unfortunately the animals do not know what day it is.
Once they are taken care of...
I will enjoy the slowness of the day.
I worked a little on the lap quilt up on the wall. Have the blocks together but now it's deciding on the border. 


While sewing I listen to Ulysses, I'm on Chapter 2 only 7% of the book. No way I'll have it completed on Tuesday.

Then I've been appliqueing my "Words of Wisdom" blocks using the bottom hole stitch.


 I just finished this block

And have started on this one

 

 Last year while at my daughter's she turned me on to Passion Ice Tea ... well this year she upped it a notch by introducing me to her version of Starbucks Passion Lemonade.

I have a new love now. So refreshing and easy to make. 
Make a batch of passion tea - I fill my glass about 3/4 with the tea.
Now you can sweeten your tea with whichever sweetener you like and than fill the remaining portion of your glass with lemonade. 
I bet you'll find it delightful too.

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          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

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 cott
