No Finishes, all WIPs

Today I got to stay home and was able to get a few things done. 
Besides cleaning the house I was also able to layout the blocks to my Boho  Ornament Afghan that I started a couple months ago.



I don't remember if I posted any photos here on the blog but I did on Instagram. 
Which reminds me, I need to learn how to put a link to my Instagram here on the blog


Now all I have left to do is to attach all the blocks together. I'm using grey yarn that I had leftover from another project 



Now the first picture shown is of the floor where I laid them out thinking about how I wanted my blocks arranged. 
But I decided to put it up on the design wall for couple of reasons: first the cats. You just can't leave anything laying around with cats in the house. Second was in a couple hours I was having the telephone company, who provides our internet to the house, they are going redo the line for the modem. Put it closer to the TV.



It was located in the sewing room which is far from the TV and there were times when you would be watching Netflix or YouTube and it would buffer or just totally lose connection. They came and did that. 

 I had get to a couple of things done to get ready for the cold snaps we're supposed to be having this weekend. I made sure that the stove was cleaned out of most of the ashes. And then I had to bring in some wood so I could get a fire started. Because I hadn't this morning due to the fact that was just so nice outside. Today it was in the 50s but very, very windy . 

This afternoon I wanted to sew on something but I didn't wanna start a new project and I really didn't know which WIP I wanted to work on.

 So I just grab the first thing I saw which was a stack of blue squares I had cut out for a Quilt top. Our stitch group had started doing this one together. 


 That's what I worked on this afternoon.


I decided this evening while watching TV that I was gonna go ahead and try to finish up sewing down the binding on the snowman quilt instead of starting the assembling of the boho ornament Afghan 

Being that it's supposed to be in the twenties tomorrow and a little bit warmer on Sunday I believe I'll get to it sometime this weekend, knowing I'll be inside staying warm.  


Yeah 3 eggs today.

    Loved the beautiful mix of colour in the Boho blanket, I am looking forward to seeing it with its border all linked together.

    Beautiful jewel tones in your Boho pieces. You've got lots of beautiful projects in the works. Hope you got in some good stitching time since it was so cold this weekend.

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.

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        ...
