It’s October 2

 This morning we received the most welcome rain in a while. I think it’s been at least two or three weeks since we’ve had a drop of rain.




So this morning while sitting on the porch having my coffee we were able to enjoy the rain. 

I’ve been able to keep up my morning routine during my cancer journey, which is to get my planner/journal and write about anything that crosses my mind in it and then also plan what I hope to get done today. I also have a daily reading that I will do and this year I have been reading The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday.  



 I understand he has a new book out which I need to look up, and see if it’s something I’m interested in reading. So far Stoicism I can relate to as far as a philosophy and I’m curious to know whether or not his new book elaborate more on it. 

Normally after my time of reflection and planning I will start my exercises which usually starts with a warm-up of a bike ride. I’ve been doing a mile and keeping it at a mile just for the reason that I am just doing it as a warm-up to my exercises that the physical therapist has a signed. 

That has been working out really well for me in the past couple weeks actually it’s almost week three. Boy, time sure goes by fast. Anyway that has been working out well for me like I said it takes about 35 minutes altogether

Then normally after that I either shower or I will eat. I had a late start this morning so here it is already noon and I haven’t had anything to eat or a shower I just finished my exercises so I think I will get to that and then start my day.


Which meant I needed to get some cleaning done and today I had help.


I had to clean the litter box. It's been a year and half since Pete passed so having one cat I didn't need to clean the box as often.
But with 3 it keeps me busy and this time I wasn't able to get the top on before they had to use it. Both of them


Then had help sweeping the floors.


I normally don't get such good help, usually they are napping.
A lot easier that way for me.


My 15 minutes of sewing was some mending I'm doing.

My daughter had a pair of jeans that were wearing thin on the legs, so I'm adding reinforcement.




My sewing time was more than 15 minutes this time and I thing mending counts.

Till next time,

Kat

    Your cats are very helpful. Pretty soon they will be wanting to receive an allowance for all of their housework! I see I am not the only one doing mending this past week…

      I have seen others use colored threads to do their mending and wasn’t sure if my daughter would like that. But some people get very creative in their stitching

      It’s a blessing for sure. It’s the start of your growing season, bet you want that rain as long as it’s not much to soon

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
