A little weaving

 Yay tomorrow is Friday. I have to say this week went by fast. I guess it’s because I’m gone and busy every day which makes the time go by quicker. Strange, I wouldn’t think that way but for me it has. Anyway I was able to finish the socks that I was knitting on in the previous post. I’m going to wash and block them this evening along with the shawl I finish. I was taking a break from knitting and was working on my loom.  I had started a shawl to take with me to chemo. Towards the end of the chemo treatments I was getting pretty tired and so I never did complete it. Its been sitting in the dining room, which I’ve decided I was going to get it out and start weaving on it.




 I’m just using some scrap yarn that I had on hand. It’s nothing fancy and maybe that’s why I’ve been dragging my feet on it because it’s more of something that was going to be just a practical easy thing to work on when I was going through treatments, nothing that I had to think about. But I need to finish it so I can get it off my loom and start something else. 




what I’m gonna do with it after I finish it I’m really not sure.

 Haven’t done much, just been going back-and-forth to Tulsa. I did finish listening to a book, this one is a mystery by Elly Griffiths. I love her books they are not complicated but you’re not sure where she is going to go with the plot,  I mean who did it. I just finished The House at the Seas End. And now I’m on the next book in the series of her character Ruth Galloway who is a archaeologist and instructor at a university. This book is called A Room Full of Bones. 

Till next time

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        ...

I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing.

Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
