Blogtober Monday the 11th




 This morning I had physical therapy which went really well. The therapist added a couple more exercises for me to include. It never fails also that when I go to Tulsa for an appointment or something, I end up there half the day. Same for today, I left at 9:30 did not get home till 2:30.

While in Tulsa after therapy I went by Whole Foods, picked up some prescriptions at the pharmacy and then on the way home went by Walmart. I needed some white yarn for the Christmas Afghan that I’m crocheting. I thought I had enough of it.  I bought one of those great big value skeins of the acrylic red heart yarn but nope, used it all. 


And I still have the outer edging to do which takes white also. What a pretty edging. Can't wait to work on it.

I rested for a little while when I got home. I was tired, seems like these days I’m still getting tired but it's getting better. Then this afternoon I worked on my mitt that I making for myself. I started the second one. 



Then made dinner and tonights was white beans with pork. Very basic navy beans, onions and a shank of pork or salt pork.

Then I took a look at last weeks "thing to do list" and checked out what I had accomplished and things that I can transfer over to this week.

Here is this weeks Things To Do list  


Transferred over the Hocus-Pocus quilt and I need to put on the details to the  hello kitty mitts I had made.

This week I would also like to warp the loom again for some more mug rugs. My plan is to give them away for Christmas.


 so here is the yarn what I picked out for the next four mug rugs.

Wanted to start cutting out the pieces for the stems on the pumpkins but I’m kind of tired and I think I’ll just write this up and call it a night so this is day 11 of Blogtober 

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          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
