My Plans for the Week

I had planned out my week yesterday, with high hopes of getting a couple projects finished. 
That’s in-between doctor visits. Today is Moms and Thursday it time for "Pete the cat" to get a wellness checkup, he’s 12 years now.

 With all that 
I hope to get the scrap yarn crochet blanket done
Right now it’s 82” long and figure maybe another 6”


Want it to fit a twin bed. 

Wish it had used up all the little balls in the stash box but not quite, don’t think there will be enough for another that size tho.

And the other big goal is to finish the the last two borders on the Dreamy Hexagon


Making good progress on this border and then all I have left is a plain one. 



These blocks end up being 12 1/2 unfinished and to get it that way the squares in the 16 patch were cut 2 5/8 and the outer triangle were from a 6 7/8 square cut in half. Working in eights can be a challenge to make it come out to right size. Normally I to have the unit/blocks slightly over size so I can trim it down to the right size
Think it’s doable

Today has been in the 50’s so was able to enjoy a fire in the stove but it won’t be to much longer where it will not be a fire 24/7 but maybe part of the day or every other day.
Those days are hard to keep the house a consistent comfy temp.

 Saw this on Facebook and sent it to my youngest daughter
She loves cats and use to work for 10 years a Cat only Clinic
She has only 2 cats though but her house does resemble this cartoon.

 Linking with Christine at stitch all the things  for the first time

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.

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        ...
