Slow Sunday


It has been so nice today, morning temps in the fifties and a sunny fall day.
Started my day with a 3.5 mile bike ride....which felt great.
Later I put a turkey in the oven to slow cook,
the "man of the place" ask if I could make a turkey with some the of fix'en, said he has been craving this for a month now. I know Thanksgiving is just a little over a month away but I couldn't convince them to wait.   



I do have to say it was very tasty and we will have plenty of leftover since it's just two of us.


This evening I will spend time sewing the binding on the William Morris.


I enjoy sewing down binding, find it relaxing.


Earlier today I did finish my daughter slippers and they turned good but I personally like the other pattern I made a couple weeks ago.
Now I'm wanting to Spicier Life CAL

Hope all is well for you.

    you know I think the only time we have turkey is at Thanksgiving. I will have ground turkey or occasionally a turkey breast in the crock pot but only roast in once a year -- I wish we could get a really small turkey - for two people a turkey is just so large

    My mouth was watering looking at the turkey, it is so rare that we eat turkey and yet it is something that we both really enjoy.

    Our local store just had a split turkey breast on sale for .99 per pound and I did a small one in the crockpot : Hot turkey sandwiches with gravy, cold turkey sandwiches for lunch / turkey with mashed pototoes and gravy...loved it just like you! :) Beautiful slippers for your daughter and congratulations on being at the binding stage on William Morris! :)

    Hopefully with those leftovers you've had more time to stitch. Sewing on the binding is very relaxing. I like spending that time with a quilt. It's nice to contemplate all the things that happened while it was in production and in some cases where it's going. It's like a long good bye in a way. Happy stitching this weekend.

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
