Blogtober Day 5

It’s Tuesday which can be called To do Tuesday or Taco Tuesday and both can apply for me. 

Made a To Do list just for my creative projects  



Given myself a week to get the things done on the list. I figured a majority of them were doable, maybe the quilt top will be pushing it a little bit but we’re going to give it a go.

I was able to finish the mug rugs and it didn’t quite turn out as I hoped but then again this was the first attempt at my own creation I did not have a pattern just an idea in my mind. 


They are here drying

So these were my practice ones. I’m gonna keep these but the ones I continue with will be gifts..


Mondays I water my house plants and I forgot to water the air plants  (Tillandsia)




I have found the best way is to soak them in water for 10 minutes and drain. They say once a week but I have to admit it can be a couple weeks between watering  


This evening we had bean soft tacos




Tonight I think I’ll cast on the mitts. It's a free pattern on purlsoho

This is some of my yarn I’ve dyed with avocado skins last year.

It’s a copper color instead of pink. I’m going to try again and maybe I’ll get a muted pink. 

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

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. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. 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,...
