What's Up 10.25.16

I have been so busy the past two days, that I have a variety of things to share.
First of all whats up on the design wall.



I'm making a crib size quilt and with the small jelly roll I had it was perfect for these 4 set of Seven Sisters.
I have as I write this 2 of the 4 ready to put the sections together. The other 2. I have the units made as you can see but will be sewing them into sections.  



There are 6 sections



I also been sewing another section of the HST border for the Words to Live By 
Had put this second for a few weeks now, plugging along.



"The Man of The Place" did get the Christmas boxes down  for me and yesterday I just checked them all to see if there was any mice damage. Just a couple items, almost all good.
I will sort what I want to keep or past on as I decorate.

Did also clean out the chicken coop and the pullets pen. Now the girls are good to go for a few. 

Today I wanted to send the "Little Dudes" something for Halloween and went to Pinterest of course for ideas.
Saw quite a few I would love to do but only needed one, so I decided on Rice Krispie treats, but in the shape of pumpkins.



They turned out cute, the stem is a Rolo and a green M&M for leaf.
Ended up with a dozen so just sent them all.
I think they will like them.

Besides all this I still was able to get cleaning in. 
It's been a month since I started  BHRT and I have from the start felt better and I can stay more focused, something I've been struggling with.
Plus my energy level has increased a little, needed that too.

    You are an inspiration with all your different projects. I need to have a sort out of the Christmas décor but have decided to leave it until nearer the time. Loved the rise crispie pumpkins, what a joy.

    The Seven Sister blocks are coming together beautifully! Hope you get in some good stitching time this weekend.

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...
