My third attempt

This has been such a busy, exciting and tiring month. Been able to finalize all the flooring and has it scheduled for installment next week. Had done cleaning and organizing and redoing the house all in preparation for the flooring plus the "little dude's" visit. 



The "little dudes" were here this past week and boy was it so good to have them here. It went by way too fast as always, you just wish time would slow down when you have events like this. But we had a good time we were able to get a lot of Grammy and Papa time in. They left Tuesday morning and it's taken me a couple days to just kind of mellow out and get my footing back.
I'm already planning their visit for Christmas.
With all of my busy work with the house and riding around for flooring I was able to complete the Boy's I spy quilt. 



Well almost completed, I have the binding to put on, but I still put them on their beds so they can enjoy doing I spy. Which just tickle me pink when they did, I thought it was the cutest thing. It made all this time and effort well worth it
I will have more pictures and details on their ISpy quilts this weekend.
I had also gone to a retreat the. I have pictures of what the others were working on while at the retreat and I will put them up in my next post. My goal is to get back on track with writing my blog.
Well that's sort of a brief summary of this past month which I would like to give more details
So Until tomorrow hope all is well and take care

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. I figure we need to refrain ourselves and keep it down to a couple episodes a night. Today I put a binding on another quilt from the pile. ...

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        ...
