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.

    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!

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...

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.
