Day 17, a little catching up

This kitten Tipsy is Buddy’s best friend, they are very close friends.

Love this picture

I wanted to show the quilts I have out for Christmas but the day flew by without me going around taking pictures of them so I will do the tomorrow.. plus I’ll dig out the ones that I don’t have out.

But until then I just share some updates.

First of all I have made a little progress on the Seaman hat for the grandson, in fact I’ll have it done by tomorrow and need to because I have to get it in the mail I feel I’m pushing it waiting till tomorrow to get it off

Then I haven’t done much on my advent knit Full of Minis hat but after the seaman hat is done I’ll be able to devote more time.

The other day I received these two new cookbooks, I heard nothing but good reviews and I’m looking forward to making some baked goods and vegetables dishes.

Now we’ll get caught up on the Advent

Have 3 day’s worth.

They are all again are so pretty. I think they’ll all go very well together, in fact I should take a picture of them all together and show you.

Well that’s all I had to catch up on.

Till tomorrow

Kat.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out. Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.

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.

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...
