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.

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.

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
