Day 4 Winter is coming





Here is December and it was 78 but not tomorrow, it will 25 degrees less tomorrow. So looking forward to it.

 I am going to make this post short this evening due to the fact that I got home a little late from the native plant society meeting. 
 It was really interesting meeting which was about how to identify plants out in the field by their family.
 I always learn something new every time I go. 



 Last night I ended up working mainly on finishing the border around the crocheted afghan. I did get it done and it’s looking just fine and I’m glad it’s over. 



The consent color change all the time,  I really did not care for having to tie on a new color every row or two.
 Don’t see myself doing this again.



 I did get some after finding stitched on the vintage Christmas quilt. But I did not get a chance to work on the pillow cases. Yesterday I spent a good half of the day mowing the yard and today ended up having to do errands and chores which took up a good portion of my day. So tomorrow my goal is to get them done and in the mail

    I agree with that not having to tie on new colors in crochet or knitting even. Too many ends to be woven in! But, your blanket is SO BEAUTIFUL!! Hugs, Julierose

    The afghan is very pretty. It may have been a pain, but all those different colors look so nice. I wasn't ready for the cold. It was quite the shock heading out the door yesterday morning.

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        ...

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...
