Some finishes

I have some Friday finishes....shock...shock

Being home bound I've been working on a little bit of this and that so my finishing will reflect that.


I did get the first two days of Arne and Carlos mystery KAL
Had to take a break though because my wrist was starting to hurt a little. This weekend I do another one or two. I'm behind 3 squares
already.


For the longest time I have been meaning to cleaning out my little fan that I use every night. I just have to have a fan on me at night.
It sure collected a lot of lint and cat fur. 
Amazing


Took a little paint brush, in fact the same one I use to clean out my sewing machines bobbin case.


Looks like new now. I feel better too, I was afraid that somehow all that stuff could catch on fire. I don't know
if it really could but it would still freak me out at times thinking it could.


Sweet dreams now 

Then while still working in the master bedroom, the wall lamps I ordered a while back finally were mounted.

The "man of the place had a clip light on the headboard on his side and over time it chipped off some of  the paint on the wall.
Wasn't even sure if I had paint leftover to touch up the wall.


Yeah..... I did
But boy has it been awhile since I've painted the bedroom.
13 years
Dang time fly's


Looking good.


It wasn't to hard to mount the lamps to the wall, a lot easier than I thought.
Did it myself mind you
Looks so much better now.


I love this quilt, one of my favorites. I have only 2 so far that I've made King size, which our bed is.


Lastly is the binding is finished on ____ Kaffe Fassett quilt I purchased as a kit and have idea the name of it.
So soft and mellow for his style, really like it.





Till next time stay healthy and calm,
this all will be past us someday.

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          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

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 cott
