Blogmas Day 2 & 3

Day 2


On the first night I lit the candle and preceded to write that days blog post. Totally forgot about the candle and by the time I did I had burned past day 2, go figure. It’s like writing, need to get back in the swing of things.


Started on my Christmas socks and have a pretty good amount done.



 Very Christmasy 

And Day 2 Advents. 
The minis and Amy’s



Another gorgeous mini and some beautiful green squares of fabric.



Along with seeds from some of the flowers she grows and I will be growing these next year.




I have been knitting some hats for gifts this Christmas. I finished the black hat and started this blue one.





A couple days ago I had completed the pink hat for my youngest daughter, she still loves pink.





Day 3


Well I had my day planned to finish up cleaning the living room, dining room and the entryway but we all know what can happen to a good plan.
So I did some but not all, I’ll have to finish tomorrow. 

I did some more gifts ordered, and a little more knitting 


Today Advents




Markers from Imagined Landscape, such a pretty mini and small balls of wool that were from something Amy made.




While working in the dining room I needed to redo my Chicken Christmas tree. That cute little fur ball on the table is one of the culprits who dismantled my tree. He looks so innocent but just wait.



See what I mean, sneaky little guy 




Ta dah!!!!!



So pretty, this tree has been out all year long since the day I created it. Not sure but at least 6 years.

Had to bring out my Christmas reading. I’m about a quarter through it now.

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        ...

But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday.

It came from a shop in Texas,...
