I made a homemade filter...and it works great!
Comments (11)I know, I can't believe I didn't take pictures of the whole process! I always take pictures of stuff. As I was constructing the filter thingy I was thinking that I should be taking pictures and making a whole instructional web page for it. But there are other instructional pages out there. But yeah, I will take some pics of the pond and filter tomorrow. Until then, here's a video I took yesterday of my six new fish! They are the first fish to be in the pond, and they seem to like it. They are really tame; you can even sort of hold them. :) Here is a link that might be useful: Katy's six new goldfish video . . ....See MoreNow, That's a pair of homemade SOCKS! (pics)
Comments (24)Hey! Did you guys notice the color! That color will show up under any length pants. It's almost neon! The yarn was left over from a scarf, hat and mittens set. Imabest, I found the "toe-up" pattern on the net. It was from one of the links that were shared on the other thread about socks. Judt a minute, I'll get it....... Here it is! This is what I used to start it, but since it became like a foreign language, I couldn't follw through. http://sarah-knits.blogspot.com/2006/06/toe-up-sock-pattern-invisible-double.html (doesn't that picture look just like mine!!!! LOL) Dances, You have me almost encouraged enough to try again. I had to laugh at your comment about having with "A" hole in the gusset. I ended up with a bunch of them. Sheilaj, I know I just need to get a commen cense understanding of turning the heel. I'm getting that by looking at my boughten socks. I did like the feel of that first one....See MorePic of my homemade light box for tracing applique
Comments (14)Great idea! Here's something that was new for me. I have been doing applique for quite a while but I learned this at a class last week & I couldn't believe I had never done this. She had us pin our pattern to our fabric 1st before putting it on the light source. I have always used a window & taped the pattern up 1st & then the fabric on top & then marked which allows the fabric to move around & cause all sorts of trouble. I guess this is why there are classes, you learn the simpiest things that make life so much easier! Jill...See MoreLes, Squirrel and others, should I re-do the bathroom? pics
Comments (30)Oceanna, it is BM Spice Gold, the color card makes it seem so dark, but it's not at all. The first coat goes on pretty dark, but after the second coat it's fine. I would say the eating area is the most accurate color. It is the same color in the hallway by the stairs, where the entry table ,where the kids pics are and in the family room and kitchen, oh an upstairs spare bath. Based on the lighting it looks different. I wanted all the same color, but at this time did not want to repaint kitchen/family room. If I was willing to repaint, I would have done SW Restrained Gold. Still trying to find the right light fixture I used the polyshades on the staircase on and the spare vanity upstairs in the pic. I used Bombay Mahogany. I would recommend using the cherry color, the Bom Mah is way too dark. I wish I would have painted the vanity a chocolate color, it would have been easier. The stain is very hard to work with as it is extremely thick and gooey....See Moreterrene
