Purple Boxes

Started this a week ago and have it as a finished flimsy already. Not that I'm a fast, but that it wasn't a hard one to put together.


 Mainly worked on it Friday while watching the inauguration. Seeing how there was coverage all day I just kept the TV on and sew like crazy. Had to keep myself busy so I wouldn't throw something at the TV. I wish I could say I was uplifted by the new Pres. speech but it was quite the contrary. 


So this is what my RSC for this month looks like.
Of course Pete has to inspect too and I believe it passed.





In fact I think the yawning means he ready for a nap.



Last night I worked some on the current scarf on the loom.
Besides being OSU colors they are SF Giant's colors and that is my daughter's team. It gets cold in the summer there in the Bay Area.

    I love the way you say that you aren't that fast and here you are having produced this in just a few days I suspect, or even less! It is lovely, I like the way the squares interlock and overlap and the colours too. The mix of light and dark is lovely.

    It certainly looks very complex to me, amazing that you finished it so quickly. Great job!

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
