Nothing much these day

Yesterday was my Mom's 3 month check up and her cancer has not changed in size,which is good news... especially since she has an aggressive kind. Bad news is that she has heart issues and the Doctor did not like what she saw and admitted her into the hospital yesterday. 

Today when I saw her, she was still swollen in her legs, feet, arms and hands but not as bad as yesterday. Will have stay there at least another day...I figure she will be there maybe for the weekend myself.
Had my hair cut before I went to visit her and now I'm good for another 6 weeks. My hair grows so fast so 6 week is as long I can go without looking ragged. Years ago I just had long hair and would get a trim a couple times a year....that was so much easier but I do like the look now.



While waiting for the coloring to set I crochet on the baby blanket I'm been working on. 



It is going pretty slow this time....well that is because I haven't worked on it much these days. No hurry, just something to use up a little of my stash.

Usually when I go to Dr. visits I'll take something to work on and yesterday I took Mosaic Diamond hexagons with me.



Did finish this one 



and started another.... which I worked on today while visiting her.

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
