Day 4 of Blogmas

 


Wake up Lovey, it’s day 4 of Blogmas.

It’s been a long day of not much to write about.

This morning I was having my coffee and planning my day


When my dad called and asked if I could drive him to Tulsa so he could care of an errand.  
That was no problem since I had no obligation elsewhere.
And you know what that means I wasn’t back until around 4. 
We did have a good time together and lunch. 
We both had a salad, he had a Cobb salad and I had a Cheeseburger salad 

No sewing today but a lot of knitting. 
This is what I have done so far on my Seaman’s hat



Making good progress.

Tonight’s movie is one of my favorites 


What is your favorite Christmas  movie? 


This is such a short post today, it happens sometimes. 
Well we’ll see what tomorrow brings, God willing.

Kat

    Sounds like you had a lovely day with your Dad;))
    Nice progress on that hat--Winter does put you in the mood for knitting, doesn't it?
    My Mom used to say: "Every day that you wake up looking down at the
    grass, is a good one" ;)))
    hugs, Julierose

      We did. Yes I’ve heard something about the same “ Better to be looking down at the grass instead of looking up”

    He is such a sweet cat. Did you know that movie was a flop at the box office. But when it was allowed to played on TV in the 70’s it became a Christmas classic. Amazing

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
