Blogtober it’s the 17th

I didn’t have a chance to post earlier because I have been visiting with my youngest daughters at her place this weekend. I left Friday and had a great time with her.

We went to the farmers market there in Stillwater

Not a very big market but the vendors there were very nice. Had a good variety of veggies and fruits. Couple of bakery’s and fresh meat.

We then went and had breakfast, afterward we went to the library for a book sale.

I found a couple books for myself and quite a few on the Civil War for “the man of the place”

He is a big history buff on the Civil War.

While in Stillwater had to go to the OSU Gardens.

Been a couple years since I’ve been to the gardens. They have done a lot of changes and all so beautiful.

I just love going there. I get so inspired each time.

they film a weekly garden show there on PBS but you can see them also on YouTube. Oklahoma Gardening is what to look for.

Here are just a few pictures

There was also yard art. These pieces made from dinnerware

I did finish the mitts

Both my daughter and hubby want these so I have started another pair

This evening I started working on another set of mug rugs

Well that's all for today

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.
