Having Fun

I am having too much fun playing in dirt.
I was thinking yesterday while planting and weeding that it has been since 2011 since I have stayed home the entire month of May.
The Grandsons were born in 2012 on the 17th so I had been there in Clalifornia every year for the first 4 years for their birthdays.
Last year and this year I'll miss, last year I was in Houston Tx, M.D. Anderson and this year Mom is having surgery.
Because of that I home and really taking advantage of this.
My yard and gardens have taken a lot of neglect and are in need of a lot of care.

Was able to get a few of the tomatoes potted up and cleaning up the front flower bed. 


Nothing much to look at now, have Purple Cone flowers and 
4 o'clocks in that bed.

Looky ...... blossoms 
on the tomatoes and Paw Paw tree

Enough of gardening for the monent

 Look how far I made it yesterday morning on the border

poor picture but made it halfway on one side (long side) while watching the morning news.

 This should move quickly, today I have to do other tasks because I need to take my parents to the hospital so my mom can have a stress test., make sure shes up to surgery.

 Also finished the Kith ans Kin top


Made all from scraps and stash..... LOVE THAT
Just wish you could see a dent in my stash.

 Need to get ready to go,
till later

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        ...
