Summer Vacation is Over

I was blessed to spend my summer surrounded by family but now everyone have gone back home.


School started yesterday for the grandsons and next week for my niece and nephew.


Its hard to believe it's been 10 weeks since I last posted. 

Had a few road trips

to Utah, California and back


 Dinosaur National Monument, Utah


Turtle Rock, Utah


Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah




Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada




At a rest stop in Colorado we met a fellow Oklahoman.

First time I've seen horses get out and stretch their legs and grab a bite.

It's Friday but I don't have anything to share as a finish yet.
Been spending time taking mom to doctor appointments and getting the house back in order.

I am working on some small projects right now, curtains for my oldest daughter and 


a hair wrap towels for me. When I finish I'll show them.

For now I'll just say it's great to back and getting things more normal.

Till next Time

    Looks like an exciting summer. Hope you get things in ship shape and can get back into the sewing room to figure out where you are with your stitchy things.

    Thankfully I have three more weeks of summer vacation. Both the high school and university where I work start the day after labor day. It looks like you had quite a busy 10 weeks and visited many wonderful places.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

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. I figure we need to refrain ourselves and keep it down to a couple episodes a night. Today I put a binding on another quilt from the pile. ...

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        ...
