Blogtober Day 18.

 


I thought I would share my view off my back porch. I am so lucky to be able to have my morning coffee (weather permitting) on the porch. This morning was perfect, in fact the whole day has been.



I stayed home today and had the most relaxing day. 

Was able to do my chores, exercises and worked a little on knitting. 

But that was pretty much it……

Except…..

Had the most luxurious nap in ages  


I sat up my cot underneath the mulberry tree. The weather was perfect and the consent breeze kept me very comfortable. Nothing is more soothing to my soul than to hear nature’s music. The rustling of leaves in the trees, birds fluttering from branch to branch, calling to each other.

To have the time to just lay there on the cot, look up and daydream.

Haven’t done that in ages.



Slept so soundly, in fact 2 hours. 


I know this isn’t  anything exciting or interesting but it doesn’t have to be for me. It is just great to be alive and have these simple pleasures to enjoy.

Hope you are able to find some pleasure of your own today 

Till tomorrow 

Kat

    I've never taken a nap outside. Sounds wonderful in that beautiful scenery.

      Oh if you can find a way you ought to try it. Maybe you have another way that works just as well.

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.

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

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
