Day 14 A little bit of this and that

 


Hard to believe Christmas is just 11 days away.  And I have only a couple of days left to get the gifts ready to ship before Friday.  


I have most of the items finish but still need to finish the hat.  




This is all I have done so far . Been working on it some today but it looks as though I better get busy.


Did another coaster but no need for a picture, looks just like the last one on the loom

This one



Then I’m making these for all the book readers in the family (which is everyone)  we are all avid readers.




Corner bookmarks. So easy to make and all you need is scraps of fabric.. 

I’ll be matching fabric to who I’m giving it to. 

If you are interested in making your own there are of course a lot YouTube videos that shows you how.


Or if you want I could post pictures showing you if you

want me to, just let me know in the comments.

Todays and yesterday advent from Sherry Iris yarns




What a yummy bunch of minis, getting excited on what I can make with them.


I have been forgetting to mentioned the movies we have seen lately.

Let’s see there was 

The Bishops Wife with Cary Grant

The Chronicle’s of Christmas with Kurt Russell 

A Christmas Carol (1994)

A Christmas Story

Christmas with the Kranks 

Shop Around the Corner with Jimmy Stewart


I apologized if I have repeated any these movies.

I should of been better at reporting what’s we watched.

Still need to see White Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, Love Actually, Polar Express, Elf, Rudolph, Little Women and probably missing some too

Looking forward to seeing these.

How about you, are you getting to watch some?

What’s your favorite?


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        ...

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 c...
