Five On Friday

I haven't posted a five on Friday in a while, it's not that I didn't want to I just couldn't think of anything in time.
This time is a no brainer 
The home we live in was built by a previous couple and the he owners loved Irises. So there are Irises everywhere. This week they started blooming and this is the first five colors to bloom






 Linking up at a new spot for five on Friday

    Gorgeous. I love bearded iris and I can't grow them here. I may try one more time and put them in pots so I can move them around the yard! Have a lovely week.

    Pretty! You're luck to have those left behind. :) I want to plant a bunch this year so we'll get them next year. There were tulips at this place, but the deer just eat those down right away. Need to put in some daffodils and iris that they won't eat. :)

    Beautiful!!! When we lived in town I would always ride my bike down the alley this time of year to see this one back yard full of Iris's!!!! They were so beautiful. I need to make a trip to town to see if they are still there. So much has changed in the old neighborhood.

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
