Happy Mother's Day

Hope all you Moms out there had a good Mother's Day


Mine was and I made myself some flowers.
This is a free pattern at Annie Design Crochet
She has another flower pattern I've used too.
These are about 3" but if you were to use DK they would be larger.


Last year I had purchased this box of assorted sock weight yarn at Hobby Lobby.


Cutest little skeins. 

So this evening I worked on making a few flowers that will go in the car as spring/summer deco.

Been a very enjoyable day.

Before we went out to lunch with my Mom and Dad I was able to warp the loom with cotton thread for the latest project.




I'm going to attempt a rag rug.
Another stash buster sort of.

Tomorrow I'll wash and cut the fabric to use.

Till next time 
Linking up with Kathy

    What a fun box of yarn!
    Can't wait to see how you're going to work with the rag rug on the loom!

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        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
