BRRRR!!!!!!! Day 5





Boy what the difference a day makes.  I don't think the temperature got above 45, that is 30 degrees cooler than yesterday.
Brrrrr!!!


Spent the day at Mom and Dads, and while there I started working on these.




Little hats.
The American Heart Ass. give little red hats to babies born in the American Heart month..... February 

I found this out just a few days ago about them accepting donations of handmade little red hats. They can be knitted or crochet.



These are the ones I made today while at Moms.
I went ahead and crochet these but I want to at leasts knit a few too. I am so missing working on a knitted project. These are small and not a large project. I'm not sure if my wrist would be up to a lot of knitting.

There is a link that is located below the photo above if you interested in knowing more and patterns.

Earlier this morning I was able to sew on the pillowcases.



Have the Grinch's completed.... dropped off at the Post Office...
now on their way to California.



Rudolph's are nearly done 
and still need to find some flannel in my stash for the cuff to go along with the Santa print.



Do you make your own sprouts?

This morning I started some mung seeds for some stir fry I plan on cooking later this week.  If I think about in advance, can get a banch started in time for the meal but so many times I don't.
Mungs are one of the fastest seeds to sprout, most times in 3 days they should be ready. Also by using a dark jar, very little light gets to the sprouts which is good because mung sprout I like without any green. Keep you posted on their growth.

I'm almost done handstitching the binding to the
Vintage Christmas

Have about 1/3 left to do. Which I hope to have done by tomorrow and then be able to hang this quilt up in the livingroom. 
Can't wait.....

    Your little hats are adorable! Some babies and moms will certainly appreciate them. I've not made "fancy" pillowcases like yours yet but they are very tempting. You've probably posted Vintage Christmas before but I can't remember it. I'm looking forward to seeing the front of it when you finish.

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        ...

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. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

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...
