Blogmas, Day 2

 


Day 2 and it was such a gorgeous day out. I’ve been meaning to ride my bike for the past couple days and finally this morning I was able to. It was just wonderful.

Other than that it seems like my day just did not go as planned. I don’t know if you have that same issue or not I assume you do you and does it just drive you nuts, I know it does me.

Even though I was busy most of the day, I barely got anything completed.

Example I went to the store after going to the post office and I was going to pick up the few items I needed to make the chia jam. I needed some cherries and I needed some lemon juice. OK what did I do… I get home and realize I forgot the lemon juice. Now I live in the country and even the small town it’s 10 miles away so to just go back and get some lemon juice can be a pain in the bottom….. decided I will just wait till tomorrow.

No jam to show or tell whether it was good or not.

If all goes right, tomorrow I will.

I wanted to share my Advent countdown candle.

I should of order one like I have in the past but will again for next Christmas.



I ended up purchasing a long white tapered candle which I added some stickers that I had already. The numbers worked out just fine, they stuck to the candle perfectly well but the greenery that I had had raised bumps or whatever which I did not realize that at the time. Did not work out, which was fine


Ended up just adding a few splotches of red and green. The candles I bought before would be decorated very festive.



Seems to be working out just fine.


Started a gift today.

It’s another knitting project 


I’m making hats for the grandson’s. Now that they are just 9 I’ve decided to use some yarn out of the stash I have, acrylic yarn  that way it’s washable, sturdy and cheaper than wool.  Besides if they lose their hat it’s no great lost.

Worsted weight with a size seven needle, should knit up quickly.

The pattern is a free one on Ravelry, pattern is the Seaman’s Hat.

Till tomorrow 

Kat

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        ...

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,...
