Just Slow

Woke up this morning with a sinus headache and felt  poorly. Ended up sleeping in which made for a slow start today.

Did very little because of that.



Did some weaving on another scarf I started a couple weeks ago, this one is with finger weight yarn both in the warp and weft. Using one skein, not sure it will be enough tho.
I like how a variegated yarn will end up making stripes.

Also been wanting to make some pants for myself. As I have gotten older, comfort take presidents over too much fashion. Don't get me wrong, I still like to look nice but not in the same way I did say in my 30's or 40's.
My curves are not same so my style had to change.



Today I cut out a pair of pants. Have used this pattern before and they are comfy pants.
They look huge in this picture. But the front and back are one piece, no side seam. And yes they are loose fitting.






Then did some stitching on the red birds.
Have them all finished and tomorrow I'll put the top together.

    I go for comfort rather than fashion these days too. Hope you are feeling better.

    Glad to hear your sewing for yourself. That's something that I need to do for myself. I sure go for comfort when it comes to buying shoes.

    You have to be comfy even when looking stylish! Hope you enjoy your new trousers!

    It's the time of year for sinus crud. Though it seems a bit later than usual, I guess because we haven't had a freeze yet. Hope you are feeling better.

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        ...

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...
