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.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show.

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        ...
