Little Rambles

Went to Tulsa today to get my hair done, had it colored and cut. Looking good. Now I'm not a photogenic persons and most of my pictures turn out poorly but if I do get a descent one, I'll share. Did a few errands while I was in town by getting some potting soil and a couple new pots. 


I what to plant some veggies in containers on my back porch like I saw Mamma at mamas mercantile do here. That sounds like a good idea especially for the lettuce and things that I would use often in the kitchen. You see my garden is out there. Let's put it this way... it takes me five minutes to get to the garden back, so it would be a lot more convenient to have some veggies on the back porch. Plus it's getting me ready for my old-age when I can't be gardening like I do now and I'll just be container gardening.




I forgot to tell you about the snake yesterday. When I went into the hen house to let the girls out, there was no sign of the snake. It must of found a way to get out. Someday  I'll find a golf ball somewhere in the yard and will think what is that doing here. 




Didn't get any sewing in today but did work on the scarf while my hair was being colored. 

And this evening I'll be doing some quilting,


 also some wool appliquéing.

    Glad that the snake has left the building! A pot of lettuce close by is a great idea isn't it. Hope you had a lovely evening quilting!

    Thank you for mentioning my humble container garden, it certainly is an easier way to garden designed so that my husband would still be able to help when he has to be in his wheelchair. Love the wool applique, a real delight.

    My Guy does the container garden for peppers and herbs. We don't have good shade and it seems the summer sun burns up everything if we plant it in the yard.

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...
