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!

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          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

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 cott

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
