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

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
