Last day of Blogtober





 Hard to believe it’s already the end of October and tomorrow is the first day of November.   

Where did it go…..

It was another gorgeous day but come next week we’ll see the temperatures drop. 



Which means the tomato plants I have still growing in there pots will take a hit.

The darn things are all the way to the eaves of the house. I believe that’s  eight feet high and they still have tomatoes on the vines  

The tomato did pretty well this year 


 The beets should do okay for now. I will be picking the greens to eat tomorrow. 


While “ the man of the place” was repairing the well house 


I was doing some long needed cleaning up around here. With all that has happened, working in the yard has been a slow process back to. 

Started with the removal of the Christmas lights we have had up, and way too long. 



Half of the were not working so unfortunately I needed to throw them away. Wish there was a way to recycle these. If there is I don’t know what. 

The porch is next


Needs a lot done. 
Seeing how we enter the house through the back door it has been easy to forget about how cluttered it looks 

Yesterday when I went to the post office I had happy mail.  

I had order an air fryer. I have not used one myself but my sister did and I liked. what she made in hers. Hers was a lot bigger than the one I got. I have no counter space, not even this one so  I’ll have to store it while not in use. 


If you have one yourself I would love to know what you think of them and anything you learned that could be helpful. It’s all new to me. And any good recipes. 

Hope you have enjoyed my rabbling some and I have definitely enjoyed blogging again. 

I have posted this month alone more than I did the whole year last year. 
Amazing 🤩 

Now in December I’ll be back with Blogmas. That is like this month. You try to post every day in December. Still don’t think I’ll vlog that. 
But I’ll be here for November too. 

Thank you for being here. It has meant a lot to me. 
Thank you 🙏🏻 

 Till tomorrow

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

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
