Day 26

Here it is the 26th day for the challenge and I can say I've done well, have posted 20 times.
Best month out of the whole year in total times.

Today I spent time finishing up on the decoration, here most are done with Christmas but mine is still to come.

Do have a few more gifts I'm making.


These will become what are known as Japanese Knot bags 


Making one for each girl and one for myself.

Over the past few weeks I've been working on the little hats for

I have 23 ready to be sent off in the mail to Tulsa.

The Man of the Place like to feed the deer corn and he puts it out by the driveway out in front of the house. That way he can watch the ones that come up, which are many.


Not only do the deer like the, just about all the critters around here do and today a large flock of black birds came in 


They are so beautiful to watch as they fly together.


There must of been a couple hundred in this flock. I expected them to eat a majority of the corn but it look as those they barely touched it..

    How wonderful to be able to see the deer from your home and a delight to see the blackbird. Beautiful projects.

    Yes it is nice, you get to see how they interact with each other, certain behavior you start to understand and recognize. They are very interesting animals, so graceful.

      That is exactly what I put in my bag, especially small projects like socks. I put a link to the pattern on a newer post. You'll have done in a couple hours.

    Congrats on your blogging success this month. With all that's going on with the holiday, you did really well. Those bags are very cute. We like watching the wildlife too. Though we are mainly limited to just watching the birds that eat the rose hips. Have a wonderful New Year!

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        ...

I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing.

OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
