Sunday Bliss





I have been today for some unknown irrational reason working on prepping an applique block.
Why I'm doing this really make no since because Thursday I will surgery done on both wrists for carpal tunnel. Since both are in need but the right hand is the worst, my surgeon explain doing both at the same time is the best way to go. Healing will be better in the long run. Will see
Anyway that being said, it's silly really to be doing this instead finishing something else.



All I can say is I wanted to.



It is a Blackbird Design, Warm Hearts I started years ago and put aside. Came across it while looking for fabric the other day.

Couldn't get it out of my thoughts.



Have 2 of the 9 blocks already done






Since the pattern was already made and ready to use I went ahead with the method I prep.






 Using freezer paper and starch.

Now after this week I'm not sure how long it will be before I get back to stitching on it.
Maybe I can have it done, just depends on if my hands get to hurting,
That could the reason for why I stopped working on this before, don't remember exactly.

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. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

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        ...
