A New Fun Stash Buster


Spicier Life CAL started today, which is a crochet along that Sandra over at Cherry Heart has designed. Will be a sampler blanket and will be perfect for me to have a chance to use up some of my stash.

Here is what I have so far come up with... out of what I have 



and out of the 14 different colors needed I was able to find 9 that were close to the colorway I liked the best.



These are her colorways and mine will be closer to the top right
She gives a chart of the colorways she offers in kits but also leaves a space for us to use if we want to use yarn we have.
The picture doesn't show the true color.



I just do not have many pinks or peachy colors so I will need to purchase, 5 is better than 14 skeins.

Each week she will put out a new part. Today is part 1 and there will be 6 part.

I plan to start this after I get the slippers I'm working on done, which I hope to start before part 2 starts next Tuesday.

If you crochet and have a stash to use up like I do, can't think of a funner way to do that....

    Looks like a great CAL, the colour combination is a joy. Loved the picture of the old crochet hooks, a real delight.

    What a pretty blanket. I may have to bookmark this for a winter project. I don't have much stash left after making the last two scrap blankets. I just may have to visit the yarn store now.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

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        ...

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 c...
