Five On Friday

To was a day of firsts and finishes.




Last night another one of the heifers had her calf. Cute little black one. I think it's a little girl by the looks of her delicate features.


The girls laid 13 eggs today. To think they started laying the beginning on the month. Started with one egg a day to now 13.  Yesterday there was 10. Another first






 Sauerkraut is finished doing it's  thing. Made this batch last month and now it's time to move to other jars and put in the frig. Ended up with 5 quarts.






Another finish is the Birds of a Feather today.
Went together so nicely and when quilted it's going in my livingroom. It measures 67 X 76
Good size lap quilt.





Then the last is a little about my first time trip to The Mercantile (Ree Drummond's store) in Pawhuska Oklahoma.



Had a great time and the building is so beautiful. They did a great job making it look like a new old store. 




We had a wonderful lunch and pastries.

I found this picture and just had to bring it home with me.  
Now it hangs in my sewing room.

    Such a busy life! What will you name your new baby? She looks very sweet. Almost as sweet as the cow in the picture. A great find.

    the old store made new looks great I have not been there - I will need to look it up on google and see where it is - I used to read her blog a lot but then stopped, I had read that they were redoing an old building but wasn't sure what it was going to be.

    Fun five! I wouldn't know where to start if I visited Ree's store! I love cows ... I think it's their brown eyes! :) Eggs, sauerkraut (yum) and quilting -- a little bit of everything wonderful! Have a fun week!

    Wow wonderful Five! Love the quilt - it's gorgeous. Wow I'm jealous you visited Ree's store. I love her cooking - so down-to-earth, things easily cooked at home. Have all her cookbooks.

    Happy Five on Friday

    The calf is gorgeous - reminds me of being a child and watching for new animals in spring - we seem to only see lambs where I am now. I love that name - Pawhuska - does it have Native American connections? It sounds so otherworldly - the perfect place for a gorgeous craft store.

    I'm just south of Oklahoma in the Lake Texoma area. Will be looking up Ree's shop to see if we're close enough to pop in for a visit. Thanks for info. Your sauerkraut looks yummy. We've been trying to eat more of it for digestive health so will be looking for info on your blog about making my own.

    We're just "over the hill" from Pawhuska, but haven't ventured in that direction yet. Love your Birds of the Feather quilt. It turned out beautifully!

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
