Howdy All

Howdy!!!! 


It's been a while again since I last wrote and for not doing much, a lot has occurred.

Last month my daughter went and had a surgery which cancer was detected, ovarian  cancer.  Not was I had (endometrial) but then I was told the type of cancer I had was not genetic. Fortunately the type she had does not spread and they had taken her ovaries and the cancer with it. What a great relief, I did not want her to have to through what I had.

So pretty much of January and first couple of weeks of February I was focusing on my daughter and some self care for myself.

Today

I started this post above the end of February, the 26th actually and now being March 13, it’s only obvious that I never did finish it or post.

In the last three weeks since then I’ve had a birthday, I’m happy to have birthdays even though it means I’m a year younger. I had a few appointments and some family come visit, so these past three weeks just went by so very quickly. I've enjoyed every minute of it though.

I wanted to take a few minutes and tell you about the little something I’ve been working on this past week. There is a knit along by Imagined Landscape who Sarah Schira is the creator of the patterns of knitted gnomes. They are the cutest little gnomes and this year she is having a knit along. Each month you knit at least one gnome and can post it on your Ravelry or on Instagram. She has a giveaway along also.

I couldn’t resist myself, especially seeing how I had purchased patterns a while back and haven’t yet made them. So I wanted to share my gnomes that I had made for January, February and March.

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.

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.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

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...
