Being a Slug





I have had a very slow Sunday, moved in slow motion all day....still am.
One task I did that was perfect for being slow was rewinding the yarn I have. 


Started with this tub and decided to wind the yarn up thinking it would take up less space in the tub. Wasn't sure until I did it.


It did but as much as I thought.

Enough that I could add this bag


before


after 


and a few other loose yarn around the house.


 Now with the bag and the few stragglers added to the tub and it's now full. 




Now that, this was done I went on to mark some of the Rocky Road I'm quilting on. I know it's hard to see the blue marker I used.



Then Pete felt he needed to help me out some but I don't find him sitting on it a big help


Then I was thinking about Christmas and the quilts I have and ones I would like to do.

Which made me think about this one I had finished, thought it was quilted but can not find anywhere in the house. Ask my girls if I had given one of them it and all said no. So now I am really confused, don't know what has happened to this quilt.
I think my memory is going too.

    Great job on the yarn. It will suddenly come back and you will remember the place you put it for safekeeping. Take care.

    You got a lot of mundane tasks done, so you slug stage wasn't entirely without merit. Hope you energy level comes back soon.

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        ...
