Slow Sunday

I would have to say that it was a slow day which part of it was dealing with doing our taxes.....fun....fun
we're not done but getting there.

This afternoon was time to relax and work on a new crochet project seeing how I finish the Ripple Blanket.


It turned out very nice and not a bad size 65 x 70, not quite a twin size but it is big enough to lay on the couch and be covered.


This is the first of this months goals to be completed. I knew I was close when I decided on a list.


This next project is something I had seen a while back and have been wanting to do just because it would be a great way to use up all these small balls of yarn I have.


This basket is only about a 1/3 of the the ball stash.

Very easy pattern,  using two yarns at a time with a large hook and doing a half double stitch.


By the time I got around to writing this I have this much done, going very quickly because of the large hook I'm using.

  4. Very nice! I like this ripple stitch! May I ask where you get your crochet patterns (inspiration)? I enjoy crochet, but only make blankets with simple (minimal counting) stitches. I've done way too many shell and zig-zag ones....and would like to find something different, yet simple to do (while watching tv, etc.). PLUS, I just found a beautiful yarn that "needs" to become a soft, cozy blanket in our living room...lol!

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. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. 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,...
