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        ...

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. 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. It came from a shop in Texas,...
