Happy Homebody Monday

    Hello Happy Homebody!

It's Monday, are you ready for  your week?

 A new week, a new start!

It is all about fall where I live, it is raining, chilling a crisp to the air. Love it!

I'm moving about smartly, with just a few things on the old to do list, we'll see what I get into. The important thing is that I did get somethings done. All about moderation, in all things.

I finished up a petal doily, it's done and it is ok, I would have liked it to be slightly larger.

I've always used Hobby Lobby I love this  yarn, as I did for these two 

 I've made one in Spruce Green, and a shimmery sparkly cranberry red for Christmas.

this is the one I just finished

It came out pretty nice, although it could have been a wee bit larger, I was playing yarn chicken, and still had 3 or 4 rows left, not enough yarn.

Which is strange, because I always use Hobby Lobby Yarn, the others I have made all made nice large doilies, and I did not run low on the yarn. Maybe because this was varigated yarn, it seems a little on the thick side of 4 weight, and it seemed a bit stiff. 

 

 This colorway is Autumn Stripe I Love this yarn/Hobby Lobby.

Have a wonderful, productive Happy Homebody Week!

Faith :)

Howdy Homebodies!

How are all of you? Well, I  hope.

Let's see....what has been doing?

My husband finished the first project, and decided to paint the kitchen....it is 95% completed now. We are still waiting for the new security & screen door. It will be nice to have that finished up.

I'm hoping this week to finish putting things away outside, we are going to get pumpkins to carve, and a corn stalk. We have been slipping into cooler weather, and it has been really lovely.

I finished the other half of the pillow. If  you recall I had to order a round pillow form because they are not in the craft stores. I thought it was to small, and still do. I bought a 16" pillow a regular decorative pillow at Hobby Lobby, and it was to big, stretched the fabric. So I stuffed the pillow form with the smaller one.

It looks a wee bit better, it will work. Nothing is perfect. It is a pretty pillow, and now I will begin working on the decorative top part. 

I have another project on the go as well, I work on that on/off. A small but fun little project. I hope to collect some pictures of these for a next posting.
