Blogtober Day 20 and 21

I missed yesterday because I wanted to share something crafty instead of just boring stuff.

Yesterday was just another PT day and figured you didn’t want to hear more of the same old, same old.

So I was trying to finish the mug rugs and share them. But heck it took me until 9:30 before I was done weaving. I still needed to knot the warp ends.

They look good and pretty much the way I imagine.

Today was an interesting day.

This morning was pretty chilly and had a heavy dew. Which made the spider webs in the grass show up.

So cool. Never noticed that when the dews not there.

I check the bucket with the walnuts soaking. It’s been a week now and I believe the solution looks ready to use. Will need to prep the yarn for dyeing.

I’m thinking about dyeing enough yarn to knit a cardigan. Thought about a sweater but I don’t have a brown cardigan. And I really want one. Now heaven knows it will probably take me ages to finish.

Today we spent a majority of it checking out new cars. My Forester is 9 years old and has 150,000 miles.

Haven’t yet decided which one, but it will be another Subaru.

Keep you informed

Till tomorrow

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 for the Birds

WHOO - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop. Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen. Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania.
