Blogmas 2022





 I’m going for it again this year 

Blogmas

Day 1.


I failed at my attempt at Blogtober but I feel better at this time, more like myself.

This year I will have all my children here for Christmas, it has been so long since we all have, I can not remember when that was. Will be so wonderful.

So I’ve been busy getting the house cleaned, purchasing presents and planning menus.

The only decorations up so far has been in the studio for my Advents.




This year I have 3 Advents

One is from a friend who lives in Australia. 

Amy and I did an exchange last year and we decided to do it again this year. I am so excited to be sharing this with her.

Then the 2 others were purchased, one is yarn minis from Sweet Skeins of Mine. Love her colors she dyes.

And the other is part of a MAL put on by Imagined Landscapes, she’s the one who designed all the gnome patterns to knit.




The scissors are from Imagined Landscapes, the yarn is one of the minis and the beautiful fabric is from Amy.   

Makes me so happy.

This evening I plan to work on clue 1 to the gnome MAL.

And I also hope to cast on for this year Christmas socks


This a striped yarn and the white will be the cuff, heel and toe.  

I have so much I want to share this time and my goal is to post most days working up to Christmas. I would promise everyday but my track record these past couple years is not good so I won’t promise this time. Just do my best.

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        ...
