So much to do

Even thou I was able to get some gardening in



you can see by the picture there is so much to do and I have little time to do it right now. 



For some reason this year I just could not keep up with the growth of weeds. Then on top of that, some of the veggies just didn't preform like they should of.



My guess is the cooler temps in early summer, then above normal rainfall in the summer. So now it's getting close to our first frost and Grammy needs to be leaving to go visit the "little dudes"
Plans are to tend to harvesting whats left before I go and then worry about most of the clean up when I get back.




Was able to get one block made from The Farmer's Wife 1930's book




and went looking for the pink fabric used in this block but had no luck.
Did find the green so I guess I'll use that. Think all white border might be a little to plain seeing how it needs at least a 6' border just to make it 36". Would like it to be slightly larger than that. 
There could be other choices for what to do with the border but sometimes I feel I need to pick and choose which projects to spend time on and this is one UFO that I just would like to make quickly and complete so I can spend time on ones that I have a passion to do.



I was also able to replace the ziplock bag inside my car trash bag.
These are very easy to make and also make great gifts. If you would like to make one I had added a how to, to the tutorial tab.

    Now that was a really good tutorial and such a great idea for all the rubbish you seem to accumulate in the car.

    It's hard to keep up with everything. Hope you can get your flower block all finished. The green makes a nice frame.

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.

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        ...
