Whats Up 6/8




The same blocks have been up on my wall since I left last month.
Friday evening I arrived back home and have been so busy getting caught up with cleaning and working in the garden that I haven't even thought about sewing.

Seeing how I ran around town taking care of errands this afternoon ... I should have the next few days to work on projects in the afternoon. 
The mornings are devoted to working out in the garden. In California the weather was perfect, they can use some rain tho.
Not like here in Oklahoma... while I was gone it rained pretty much the whole time, along with unusual cool temps. 
So certain plants did not grow very much or like the strawberries which had too much moisture - rotted.
The weeds flourished.


There are bell peppers planted in this bed, so after an hour of weeding you can now see them. Like I said the peppers did not care for the weather this past month. I can not say I like the weather we are having now...Yuck HUMIDITY  


The 2 blueberries plants liked it


Nothing like fully ripened berries. YUM  YUM

I hope to show some progress the next few days.

  2. It was definitely a soggy May here in Oklahoma. Hopefully that wasn't it for the rain for the year. Else we are going to have a long, hot, dry summer.

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
