Cramming it all in

Do you start to panic and cram it all in?

This year has been crazy. We dont know whats gonna happen this Fall with covid.  Some schools are on, some halfway.  I know i lost a lot of sewing time cleaning and being a little depressed. I felt like just burying underground and coming out when all was well. Kinda like a bear.only they come out thinner and we came out heavier lol

This niece loved her handmade gift

And sent me a picture of her and the snuggle buddies

 I have sooooo many things I need to do

And so many I want to do. 

I love this Christmas quilt.  Should i start another? Ughhhh

I have so many to complete 

Are you torn what to work on?

I need to see what the nieces plan is.....we were supposed to make witches night out and the baby quilt with pockets for dolly.

Two ambitious projects.oh yeah plus put her wedding signature quilt together. That one will definitely have to go to a quilter to finish up.

Why do I bite off more than I can chew?

Do you? How do you prioritize what is next in the list? Do you make lists? Do you wing it?

Quilters are the best

colette from whataboutrheema sent me this adorable bunny fabric for April bibs.as soon as i opened the package,  I swiftly cut out two. One for each set sooooo cute.

Thanks sooooo much Colette.  You are a godsend. I appreciate all my quilt friends so much. You all inspire me and help me on my quilting journey

This is what i came up with for Aug. Watermelon. Hubs doesnt think it looks like a watermelon slice.  I do. He thinks i should add seeds. I would except babies shouldnt have those little pieces that could come off.

I was gonna glue them on and sew but seeds are tiny and hard to do that. Where a bib should get lots of use i was leary of choke hazard. Do you see a watermelon slice???

For Sept i thought of school and alphabets and found this in my stash. This made those for that month.

And be still my heart.......i have been watching videos from the shabby tree to make creative things especially for Christmas.  I went to dollar tree looking for a 3d wire pumpkin wreath form......which my store didnt have......and came out 25 bucks later  lol. I got a cute red truck sign for the front garden and some birthday cards and SOME BEACH GLASS FOR MY TREE. I KNOW.A DOLLAR.....I GOT THE LAST 3 BAGS AT THIS STORE

HOPING ITS ENOUGH to make one tree. I was like a kid in a candy store. 

 

I also met Russell in the store. We had a long chat after not seeing each other for a bit.  I decided to bring him home.  Rich wont mind. Lol. 

Now to see if the other dollar store in town has some goodies too.

Anyone seen any heavy cardboard cone shapes in their travels for my tree base? Or teeny starfish? 

I think my daughter who moved down south would enjoy a seaglass tree as rememberance of living here not far from the ocean. Or I may keep it. You just never know. I am looking forward to making one or more of them

Somethings fishy

      

 I never got to make this for my brother. And now that Landon likes to cook how cool are these for him too?

I have the batik "fishy fabrics" all pulled ready to go. Would be great to do dont cha think?
