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.

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        ...

I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
