Day 2 was a busy one

I think today was the first day this week that I hadn't gone anywhere, not even to get the mail and I was able to get a lot done around the house, in and out.

Besides straightening up the house I needed to make another batch of yogurt. Did get it started a little late this morning, 


I like to cook mine 10 to 12 hours, find it comes out a little thicker.

I was able to also get the binding on another 
Christmas quilt, but I'll have more to share tomorrow along with some pictures.

Wanted to work on the pillow cases today. I had found some additional fabric to use. Still need to dig out my tub . of flannel to find a coordinate go with the Santa print.

The main thing today was finally getting around to the fall clean up of the yard   I like to mow the leaves up along with the last time of cutting the grass.


Always looks so neat and greener as you can tell from this picture.
Besides picking up the leaves I've been told if it gets cold enough that because the grass is short and less debris it helps kills bugs and weed seeds. So far I haven't noticed it but I'm optimist.

The clippings and mulched leaves all go into the compost bins to be used next year.


Did you this evening we are experiencing a super moon. Took this picture  with my IPad and not the best but I hope you had a chance to see it. The best times are at sunset and sunrise.


Last night I forgot to light the christmas candle so I have to burn it a little longer

  1. I always cut my grass late in the year too and mulch the leaves like you do and I don't think I had near as many bugs this year as I do sometimes but I don't know if that is what does take care of it but one can hope right! Love your candle.

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
