Blogmas; day 8

 


On this day 46 years ago I gave birth to my second daughter.  So this day is a little special to me. 
Unfortunately she live 1200 miles away to be able to celebrate with her.  But I have talked her a couple times already and she is having a good day. 

My day has been a good one too.  Had physical therapy this morning and had my evaluation which was decided that seeing how I have made good progress, that today would be my last day until if in the future I feel I need to return.  

Then when I got home I had a wonderful message. My car is ready to be picked up. So tomorrow we will go to the dealership. An Early Christmas present.  


So I have been beside myself  this evening. 
 
Had thought about putting up a Christmas tree but because of these tw I’ve decided not to. 



They look so sweet but I’ll tell you looks can be deceiving. I have been dealing with their mischief since we adopted them in July. 

In fact just the other day they were being kittens and knocked over another plant. 


All 3 of them were involved this time. 




This why I think I’ll wait for next year.  They are so cute tho. 


 
Tonight’s movie is supposed to be a classic with some. All I know is the “man of the place” is enjoying it. 
Die Hard with Bruce Willis. 

Getting in some more knitting while watching TV. 


Today’s advent 



So very pretty. 

Thank you very much for taking your time to read my ramblings. It means a lot. You mean a lot to me.
I’ll talk with you 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
