This bathroom is upstairs in what is basically a second master bedroom. I didn’t take before pictures but the wallpaper was peeling off (and ugly) and the shower curtain had fallen down. We had the remaining wallpaper stripped and then had the trim painted white and the walls painted muslin. Then we had the painters add the three stripes - they match the Mexican tile in my new bar. Then hubby got the brilliant idea that I should pain the same pattern as is on the tiles on the walls of the bathroom. Not sure that was a good idea but he found this stencil before the stripes were done and that was a good idea.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_6zswOEH5okqpiHNiBb4Jav8Jp3isVN2Cri1MUdnzC3zClVpbIAUlPOe8sVdryzxAqo1KeU2Dw8wrltiQqFyY1pd5ZXn-xKTgH0KpWIB-w_NG8AEoey22UHVflIXJewGJ4gE8ir7g8cQ/s2048/32F945C0-9EA0-48C5-A779-AFFF3BB07DDB.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_6zswOEH5okqpiHNiBb4Jav8Jp3isVN2Cri1MUdnzC3zClVpbIAUlPOe8sVdryzxAqo1KeU2Dw8wrltiQqFyY1pd5ZXn-xKTgH0KpWIB-w_NG8AEoey22UHVflIXJewGJ4gE8ir7g8cQ/s320/32F945C0-9EA0-48C5-A779-AFFF3BB07DDB.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifrwip9mUK1x-8Z7ZX6zJWQwLFpdU43LLpAutVfpo0hd7jdRhux3zmzplNXg4HpraKIFKIeq2xKwcrm3T8ODKxo7uEEeQTsECbg8bJJyBEegIFy3Holqu02VP02L_aGzuR_mki38ZbI7Q/s2048/C5702EEA-9C33-41BE-A45A-0FF554EFF592.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifrwip9mUK1x-8Z7ZX6zJWQwLFpdU43LLpAutVfpo0hd7jdRhux3zmzplNXg4HpraKIFKIeq2xKwcrm3T8ODKxo7uEEeQTsECbg8bJJyBEegIFy3Holqu02VP02L_aGzuR_mki38ZbI7Q/s320/C5702EEA-9C33-41BE-A45A-0FF554EFF592.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihKuGZtMKXlLxj1qSGII8i_w6XDWZwXrE2USraZyeekmjoSSZJULw8iO1JGJ6-QbWpm08I9wARLkjdDkkUAwu8UUWQUD4FZXw3c7rAMEX7v6OjXEiJWhde1ZgJ-CQqM6Kkp01Do4xQca0/s2048/D5395C88-7DA4-490A-B8A5-525AD595A1DE.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihKuGZtMKXlLxj1qSGII8i_w6XDWZwXrE2USraZyeekmjoSSZJULw8iO1JGJ6-QbWpm08I9wARLkjdDkkUAwu8UUWQUD4FZXw3c7rAMEX7v6OjXEiJWhde1ZgJ-CQqM6Kkp01Do4xQca0/s320/D5395C88-7DA4-490A-B8A5-525AD595A1DE.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The two motifs that are done are slightly different because I sort of made a mess of the first one.

As a child I was so proud that she made all our clothes and also proud that they cost her very little to make. She bought the fabrics in the bargain bin and made a pantsuit (remember those?) for me for about 25 cents when I was in fifth grade. I learned pretty quickly not to brag about that, but I was internally proud.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As a teenager I sewed a lot. That way the clothes I got should have been more fashionable than her choices. But I wasn’t very good at it so I did what I could and she helped a lot. She was very good at so many things - sewing, knitting, crochet, painting, writing, and many more but she hated cross stitch, crewel and embroidery. As a young adult, life got busy and I dropped all my crafty hobbies. I stayed close to mom though because I lived down the street from her. Knitting was the first hobby to come back and has always and will always be my first love. I hated sewing and never thought it would come back but it did. I got the sewing machine for my birthday several years ago (documented on this blog <a href="https://ourknitalong.blogspot.com/2013/02/early-happy-birthday-to-me.html">Here</a>). So I sewed a couple of bags and then sort of dropped it other than for repairs and very minor alterations until the need for masks arose. My now adult daughter started sewing masks for family and friends and asked for help which I gladly gave. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today I decided it was time to sew again. We are sort of in the process of a long, slow move from Atlanta to Florida and the new house has a lovely little sewing nook (oddly at the end of a bathroom) surrounded by storage for my yarn, looms, sewing things, etc. the machine has been here for a couple of months but hasn’t been used. I bought the fabric on Etsy (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SuchPrettySupplies">Such Pretty Suppies</a>) weeks ago and kept looking at it thinking it was so pretty. Today, my daughter came down for a visit and we cut it out and sewed it. It was such an easy pattern and I so love the results.

It was originally started to keep my Mom abreast of what was going on on my side of the country when she moved to the other side after Dad died. Then Facebook came into play and made keeping her current easier even if it was less information - it was quick and easy. So we drifted away from the blog.</p><p>Ravelry kind of took over the knitting activity - great place to store a list of projects and spinning etc. But not the detail that the blog contained. I am in the process of moving to another state and in moving my yarn/fiber/fabric stash, I also decided to document, catalog, detail it. I realized I did not remember what fiber was what and what or where it came from and which handspun yarn came from where or what the fiber content was. But the blog knew. The blog knew when I bought it, where I bought it, what the fiber content was, how many ounces, etc. (At least it’s knew more of that than it did not.)</p><p>I really loved going back through the history and reading what happened when and what I was working on and what I thought about the process and finished product. I even learned where a lot of things I knit went. Ravelry does not tell those stories.</p><p>So, we are going to try reviving the blog. I love knowing the where’s and why’s and who’s of the projects I have done and what I was thinking when starting and while working on them. So here goes:</p><p><br /></p><p>What am I spinning? I recently woke up my poor wheel that has been neglected for probably ten years. I had to replace a bunch of parts and clean up the rest but it is in working order and making beautiful yarn again. Currently spinning this BFL from Traveling Rhinos Fiber. It is 4.2 ounces and was a gift from my friend Laura. It has been in my stash for a few years but I wasn’t doing much spinning. I split the braid down the middle and spun the first half onto one bobbin. The second half is in process but moving along. I am spinning the singles pretty thin and giving them quite a bit of twist. This is about my third spinning project since I repaired my poor neglected wheel and I am quite enjoying it,</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOjTdt7LicHRdw2C9DCe52ZTXElH6RewUpMGmlVQsPri6V6woddxhQh-hnLmCzeUzx91S9NKxxvbBXHUAtU7-xr2tOlow0l7tARGpXsk1TXKYUEcWZS_s0f1U7HlqtJulBW01PM2a3TEg/s2048/FD395D38-7B56-4E48-8EBC-C8E097FB7C54.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOjTdt7LicHRdw2C9DCe52ZTXElH6RewUpMGmlVQsPri6V6woddxhQh-hnLmCzeUzx91S9NKxxvbBXHUAtU7-xr2tOlow0l7tARGpXsk1TXKYUEcWZS_s0f1U7HlqtJulBW01PM2a3TEg/s320/FD395D38-7B56-4E48-8EBC-C8E097FB7C54.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17806552987162578522noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123350875394219438.post-40202871037864037612019-06-13T08:41:00.003-06:002019-06-13T08:51:42.122-06:00Bringing Up to DateThe last post was a very long time ago.<br />
<br />
A lot has happened in the 2 plus years since the last post was made.<br />
<br />
This blog was created when my dad passed away and my mom, Elaine, came to live in my back yard. Teresa had spent years taking care of our parents, visiting them, taking care of their plants and ponds, helping them with whatever they needed help with. With dad's passing, mom couldn't live on the mountain by herself. I was so fortunate that she agreed to come and live with me.<br />
<br />
We created this blog so that mom could see everything that was going on with Teresa and her family and Teresa could keep up with what was happening out here with mom and with my family. A lot was about our knitting because of course, we had learned to knit from mom and it was a strong binding force.<br />
<br />
In 2016 mom's vision was pretty much gone. Knitting was so very hard for her and reading almost impossible. And so the posts were fewer and fewer as time went by. <br />
<br />
And now mom has passed. We are almost at the end of cleaning up everything and finishing the estate. As always, Teresa had the harder tasks, taking care of the will and the estate and the financials and the bickering. Together we have gotten all the items from mom's life given to those that wanted them and to those that will treasure these memories. I, of course had the easiest of jobs. Spending time with mom, taking her to teas, and lunches, and shopping and appointments. <br />
<br />
An era has ended and she is so very greatly missed.<br />
<br />
Life goes on.<br />

Darling Daughter - Girl Far From Home (who is no longer Far From Home) has started her own etsy shop. It is called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/CucumberZest">CucumberZest</a>. She is back in school (college) studying to become a teacher and working full time, but she started this both for fun and to make a little money before she found her new job. She is just beginning but has some cute things - the pink planter is on my patio and the plant is very happy. It is nice because it is not rigid and so can hang or sit about anywhere. The little felted pods can be used as air plant planters or dirt plant planters (with a dish underneath) or as handy little bowls for keeping things in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look if you have any interest. Check back later to see if she has added anything new because she has some really fun ideas in mind. Give her shop a heart if you feel like it.</div>

I chopped the leeks and onions and cooked them in butter until they were soft. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I tossed the sliced potatoes in with a bunch of chicken broth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cooked that until everything was soft then blended it all together and put through a sieve to make it smooth. I added some milk, regular cream and then brought it to a boil before putting through the sieve again. Chilled it and added some heavy whipping cream.</div>

I have made so very many of these bears now. Dena says I like to knit the same thing a hundred times - like the hundred felted hedgehogs I knit. She may be right. It feels like I have knit a hundred of these bears so far. It hasn't been that many, but I have reached my limit for now.</div>

Jutta the baby finished and wearing her overalls. Each strand of hair is an icord. It took forever to knit them all, but they really turned out cute. She has an alternate method for giving the doll hair that I will probably try on the next doll I knit. I really love this doll - mine is made with Aran weight yarn and just the perfect size for some little girl to love!</div>

Sock knitting has been happening.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a pattern designed by Wendy Gaal of Knitter's Brewing Company </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to honor Anna Zilboorg. It was meant to be embroidered and the kit came with a </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
few smaller amounts of yarn in different colors for embroidery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really liked the cable pattern just as it was so I didn't embroider it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am embroidering the Anna sweater I knit though - photos of that later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also knit an actual Anna sock pattern. This is Arcturus from Anna's Socks for Sandals and Clogs book. The book is long out of print, but thanks to Anna it has been made available as an ebook through Ravelry pattern sales (in it's entirety or as individual patterns).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Arcturus was one of the original free sole sandal patterns but is done slightly differently from the modern patterns. It is also knit in sport weight yarn rather than fingering.</div>

It is a fun pattern to knit and since it is knit in a larger gauge, it is a quick pattern to knit.</div>

A younger friend of ours let us know she was having a baby girl. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She wanted a lacy, pretty baby blanket in pale yellow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dogwood by Tin Can Knits seemed just right and I had wanted to knit it anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is knit in blocks from the center out.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After I knit the blocks and blocked them to shape, I decided that I wasn't going to sew them together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried several knitting patterns and settled on this one - a lacy little bit to knit the two blocks together.</div>

So, I knit the swatches again, correctly - the blue dots do look better when done correctly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anna decided that she liked the gray as the background and the blue as accent best (I have enough yarn to knit the sweater both ways and might). We decided on the bottom section of the last photo as the distance between the dots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I should be able to show a bigger chunk of the sweater soon . . . .</div>

One year (I think it was 2014) when Dena and I went to Stitches South together, we found a book about Purl the Little Knit Girl. We got the book and a bunch of the yarn. About a month later I knit Purl and her acorn outfit. Then she got put down and the book put away for other knitting.</div>

A few weeks ago, Steve and I went on vacation to the beach. I didn't have any sample knitting going on, so I just brought fun knitting. Purl came along for the ride.</div>

Here is Purl and all the outfits I have made so far. There are still at least two more to make - another flower outfit and vase and a pumpkin outfit and house. No telling how long it will take for me to get around to knitting those. She's such a cute little thing that maybe it will happen soon!</div>

And still knitting. I just forget to post. It has been so long since I posted (a few months now) that I should have some knitting to post. I will start with some bears. These two are for Dena and Me because we wanted some to keep. These guys are knit with an alpaca/merino blend and are lovely soft things.</div>

This is Joris - here is what the designer (Annita Wilschut) has to say about him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Joris is a weird creature. He's got 6 points or maybe horns on his head. So, he looks like a dragon, but he does not dare to say so, he's afraid people may get scared.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are some of her other patterns (including Vera, the bear I keep making).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been so very slack about posting on this blog. It isn't that I am not knitting, just that a lot of the knitting cannot be shared publicly yet . . . that's how it goes when you knit samples.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is some knitting I did - may have already showed the bear but this is her dressed and finished. She has gone to live in a crib that is waiting for the arrival of a baby. She won't be lonely too much longer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Mom-to-be wanted this to be unmistakably girly, so I added the bow headband. I wasn't thrilled with it so I made the extra two little bows so Mom could sew one on to the head if she wanted and the second so she could sew them on the dress if she didn't want them on the head. She liked the bow headband so who knows what she will do with the extra bows.</div>

Another Anna Zilboorg pattern nearly ready to be published. This is her Firs and Flakes faroese shaped shawl that was originally published in 1999. The pattern has been rewritten and will hopefully be available through Ravelry by the end of March! </div>

Isn't it lovely? I really enjoyed knitting it.</div>

After a few coats of polyurethane and lots of sanding (have I mentioned I hate sanding?), the ukulele is ready to be assembled. The kit maker put the neck pieces together before the kit was sent, but the fretboard, bridge and tuning keys need to be added.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuning keys first. It's a pretty simple process. You put the tuner post through the hole and then screw teeny tiny little screws through the plate into the wood of the head. They are small - really small screws. There are two for each tuner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

All done and I didn't lose any screws. I probably should have used a smaller screw driver, but I didn't have one. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Next the bridge. The kit maker (Wolfelele.com) predrilled the front of the sound box to make it easier both to figure out where and to get the screws in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I still worried about breaking the thin wood that is the front, but I didn't. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And the final piece to be added was the fretboard. Again, the neck was predrilled so placement and screwing were easy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The front of the sound box was not predrilled for the screw that went into it, presumably because if you attach the neck to the front even a little off center, the hole would be wrong. This really worried me because I was sure that I would break the wood. I didn't.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Last thing before playing was to string it. This was the first time I had ever put strings on an instrument but both daughters have done it many times on many instruments. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It wasn't hard. I did manage to wind the ends around the pegs backwards even though my younger daughter told me to "be sure they tighten this way". Didn't matter and it is fixed now.</div>

Next to a standard banjo for size comparison. Baritone ukuleles are much bigger than the tiny sopranos. A soprano is about 20" from top to bottom and this is almost 30".</div>

Here she is with all the other stringed instruments I own.</div>

Well, I guess the piano is sort of a stringed instrument, but it opted out of the photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(This is not all the stringed instruments in the house as #2 daughter still lives here and she has several.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I just have to learn to play them all!</div>

P.S. Some of you may remember way back in October and November of 2010 when Girl Far From Home built her dulcimer. (If you are interested, look <a href="http://ourknitalong.blogspot.com/search?q=Dulcimer">here</a>. There is a video of her playing it <a href="http://ourknitalong.blogspot.com/2010/12/who-can-sail.html">here</a>.) She hadn't been playing it because she thought it was fretted incorrectly. Well, since she was there while I was making my Ukulele, I took her and her dulcimer to a friend who works on guitars and he fixed it for her (just lowered the head). So now we can both play our home made instruments together!</div>
