A Late Start

It's been since last December that I last wrote.
In that time my step mother had hospice come and on February 7 passed away. She lived a long and blessed 84 years. Had a memorial for her this week with family coming here for the past couple of weeks. 
It was so good to have family come and give Dad support. They had been married 58 years and even though we knew the cancer would take her, it stills doesn't lessen the lost.
Now it will be a change for both of us, no more doctor visits and 24 hour care. And life will return to more normal.

Which means I can get back to a way of life comparable to 3 years before mom found out she had cancer.

I'm going to just share this for now and tomorrow will be a 
"new start"  just a little late.

For Mom

    Big hugs for you and the entire family. While you’re at peace she’s no longer in pain, the loss you feel is immeasurable. My heart goes out to you all.

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        ...

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...
