Blogmas Day 7-10

 

The past 4 days I’ve been able to get a few things done.

I finished another one of the grandsons knitted hat. This one was black, and will take a picture tomorrow. Just forgot to and seeing how I’m not prepared at the moment.

I did get a picture of the slippers I made Friday.


I have a couple of other pairs to make for gifts. The pair for my daughter I’m waiting on an order for some yarn she picked out  thank goodness they are easy to make and quick. 

I did very little on my snowman wallhanging. Nothing new to show, so bad…..

Remember in the last post I mentioned “the man of the place” and I were going out to get something to decorate the house.

We did and I wish I had taken more pictures than I did. I was just in a daze being around so many beautiful plants. 

It was pretty foggy that day, in fact it had been for most of the week.





Ended up purchasing a couple poinsettias and Cyclamens. 


I’ve been working some on my Christmas socks


Just finished the heel and it’s going along very nicely. 

I still need to put the heel in to the pair I made 2 years ago.

I never have gone an afterthought heel before and need to study up on how to go about it.



Here is the last four days of Advent calendar.








Yesterday I finished up making a batch of beef bone broth  14 cups, now are all frozen ready for when needed.


Well until next time

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        ...
