What's Up 06.06.12



I'm home now after being gone a month, and it feels so good to be back.
I took yesterday to just relax, unpack and take enjoyment of being home with my husband. But today I'm taking stock of what it is I need to start thinking about and how to go about getting things done.
There's some things that need to be taken care of sooner than others like the garden and the animals. But my mind is also in a creative mode and wants to do some sewing.





But before I can do anything like that I need to straighten up my sewing room. 



When I left, I left it as thou a tornado had gone through it



After I get it straightened up the first projects I need to work on our the Farmer Wife blocks for the future 30's club. Not sure if any of that will happen today but at least I'll get a start on working on them this week
I am very happy to be home but also bummed out. Two days before I arrived, I came down with some sort of bug/cold. Just all over icky feeling and congestion.
So my energy level is about 50% right now when it should be 100%. That's  where my ambition is.
So I have a feeling that after doing some basic cleaning, running errands, straightening up the sewing room, that will be about all I'll be able to accomplish. Don't feel like pushing myself too hard, where all I do is make myself sicker.

    hope your visit went well and that all was great traveling with your parents - I assume you all came back together or are they still traveling along? I think at 80 I would no longer want to be traveling with a camper. Nice that you got to see your daughter and family.

    Welcome home! I know the time spent with your littles was great but it does tend to wear us out doesn't it? Be good to yourself as a few more days while those chores marinate won't make a bit of difference.

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        ...
