Yarn Along

WOW!!!

I knew it had been a while since I have participated at Small Things with Genny.
In fact March 23th was the last time.
I haven't been knitting much but have been weaving on the little loom I bought this year. I have wrote about my little cricket here  . My plan is to share the scarfs I had woven the past few month but not in this post, soon tho.



 But Monday I was putting a few things away and came across this pattern for a Knitted Santa Cup Cozy I had printed off from here.



This afternoon I finished the pieces



and attached the arms and put on the buttons.



Had a good collection of red buttons to pick from.



So what do you think?



Cute..... but not sure how useful.
This would mainly be decorative for me.
Maybe candy canes!!


I have read a bunch. 
So many to just put in this post, it would take me all night   
What I thought I would do is give you a list of some of my favorites I read.

 The Devil in the White City Audiobook

 Devil in White City by Erik Larson
Love his books that I have read of his.
The Boys in the Boat Audiobook
Boys in The Boat by Danial J. Brown
I found it so fascinating.

 Now this next book is the one I just finished was Oprah's choice 
Love Warrior (Oprah's Book Club: A Memoir) Audiobook
Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton
Now I haven't read many from her Book Club the past 10 years or so. I had felt her choices changed directions and not ones I was interested in, at least the ones I had heard of. But took a chance on this one. It was good at times but I found it lacking something most of the time.
I imagine tho it's a good read for many, just not me too much.

    I love it, the perfect addition for chocolate spoons/stirrers and candy canes. Would make a lovely gift.

    Very cute! It will make a fun holiday decoration. Your idea of candy canes would be perfect.

    What a cute little cup cozy! It's delightfully festive. I'm not really a hot drink drinker, but I might have to whip some up for decoration!

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        ...

It's for the Birds

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. 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,...
