Up For Air





I'm into my third and last week with these very active five year olds. I can take breathers (short) now, figure I would give a shout out to everyone. I am going through a need to touch base with adults.



I was able to finished crocheting the afghan of the American Flag.
I went with the design of the first one, 13 stars.


Been only able to do just a little hand stitching. By the time they go to bed, I'm too tired to even do mindless hexies.



Been able to do a little blog reading and finding it very soothing.

They are up now so I need to go for now. 
See you next week

    wow they sound kind of active - I always think we believe we have to watch grandchildren every second but when our children were kids they played, we did our stuff and activities and had time to do things - why do we think we have to watch the grandchildren every second they are with us?

      I try to send them out to play but they are so use to their mommy always around and thinking they have to play or intertant them. Your right about our kids played outside or own there own a good amount of time.

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        ...

OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern.
