Shop Remodel

Remodeling the shop!

  Originally we were going to remodel my smaller office, but then my husband and I decided that we need another guest bedroom instead. Our daughter Kathleen is getting married next spring break. We will need room to accomondate our 6 grown kids and there families.

See original plan "here".

  My husband thinks that I am a hoarder. I just have a lot of hobbies! He decided I need more space, so here is the plan:

Isn't it beautiful!

Our shop has sort of become the dump of area for stuff we didn't want to store in the house. We plan on becoming better organized. 
See our before pictures:
Hail damage



Saved big boxes





All of my teaching stuff takes up the right side of the shop




  Step 1: Move all the lawnmovers and gardening stuff outside and into the small shed.
 (It was a chicken coop, but that didn't work out very long)

Step 2: Move my moms stuff to her shed on her property.
(She had me hold on to stuff when she moved)

Step 3: Throw away broken book shelf and big boxes.

It's a mess, wish us luck.

Fidget Blanket (Fummeldecke) Ideas

This will be my first time ever making a fidget blanket- I was so happy to have the opportunity today to gift my Oma a fidget blanket. I love her with all my heart, it just makes me so sad that not much can be done for her while struggling through dementia. She told me it was beautiful and she appeared to like it. I showed her each square and what she can do with it. The first thing she noticed was the wording; „Mit Liebe Gemacht“ which translates to „Made with love“.  Oma Hildegard is German and I wanted to make sure she would recognize things and always remember that we love her.  What is a Fidget Blanket?

Diamonds Are Forever Quilt Block

Saw this pattern on Facebook and Pinterest, so I eyed the pattern and came up with my own measurements. Supposedly... this is a old pattern. It caught my attention because it uses remnants of fabric and I hate seeing things go to waste. This project uses a dryer sheet. So... save your dryer sheets!  Cut a piece of paper and dryer sheet to 6.5” square.  Find the 2” width and mark with line.  Draw a line on the left and right to the bottom center.  Cut out pattern piece.  Cut a rectangular piece of fabric for the center piece. 3” x 9.5” Place pattern piece on top of the fabric and cut to size. I used symmetrical patterns / colors on each side of the diamond. The width of fabric was 1/2” - 2”, s and used scrap triangle pieces for the ends.  Watch short video clip „ here “ Finished block size should be 6.5“ Very similar to endless chain:
