Introduction

This is all new to me.... I have never been a tech savvy kind of person; I am much more of a do it yourself, use what's on hand, make it yourself kind of person. My husband calls me "The Queen of Make Do". So, because I do make a lot of things, and I want people to know about it, I decided to start this blog.

These are the things that I make: knitwear and knitwear patterns, fused glass, quilts, bread, pottery on occasion. I also do many things myself rather than hire them out. for instance, I just finished installing an irrigation system to water my garden. (With help from relatives.) We also just completed a fence around our property. (To keep the dogs out!)

I just finished a sweater for my 2 year old Grand Daughter, my design and pattern. It had to have pockets, because she LOVES pockets! And bright colors.

Here is what I'm working on now: Socks, for myself, since I make everybody else socks, and I don't have any yet. A knitted tank top/beach coverup, my own pattern. A quilt that I've had since last year, three quarters of the way done. I'm working on this now, because my mom has volunteered to do the hand-quilting. Can't pass that up, so I want to get it to her before she changes her mind.

More pictures to come, and updates on my projects. Stay tuned for some of my knitwear patterns, too.

Busy girl. But I love it.
