Not Slow Sunday

I have to admit it wasn't as slow of day as I would of liked.
Between cleaning, cooking and helping "the Man of the Place" loading and unloading wood to the back porch.



This is are 3rd pick up load and smallest so far this winter. we only burn wood to heat our home. Love wood heat but boy it is messy between the tracking in of dirt and wood shavings, then the cleaning out of the stove. Wish they made self cleaning stoves like they do ovens.

Also finished up cleaning my sewing room which I started yesterday

Before

After

It was such a mess from pretty much being a catch all during the holidays




But now it's fit for me to get back in there and do some creating.

So I wasn't able to get to any handwork till this evening

Working on a Garden Party block


Over half way done with this block




Like how the butterfly looks


While I was picking up I noticed the underside of the box the little plants were mailed in. 


I think this is cute.

    I must admit it is an effort to stack the wood but worth all the effort when you sit in front of the stove and watch the dancing flames.

    We used to heat our first home with wood too. 5-7 cords a winter! We would get a wood cutting permit, go up and cut it ourselves, load the truck, bring it home unload, stack, stack, stack! Bring it in, burn it. With all that activity we stayed in shape, and kept warm many times from that wood. Spiders came in too!

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        ...
