Creating Tote Bags

... and a few bugs

A few weeks ago, I posted about an awesome cause that was the brainstorm of MJ.

I pretty much immediately started working on it! Went to the local fabric store; in this case, WalMart. Yep, the town I live in is so small that the closest "real" fabric store (or a Hobby Lobby even!) is an hour away! So, yeah, if I need a fabric fix in a hurry to the WalMart it is! Don't get me wrong; they have lovely fabrics. But there is something to be said about walking through acres of lovely fabrics and touching all of those textures! But that's another story!

Thoughtful Thursday

On Thursdays, I will post a few of things that I have been thinking about. This includes projects that I thinking of creating, thoughts about life and family and just general get-it-out-there-and-out-of-my-head ramblings.

I am....

 ... working through a lot of things... some things have come up in my marriage and in my life in general that I am struggling through.

... hoping to be able to focus on sewing up some of the fun patterns that I won recently from Sew Like My Mom's giveaway. Once I get some done, I'll start sharing! :)

I am....

 ... not in a good place, emotionally or spiritually. Right now I am going through a very difficult time and it has been going on for more than a week. Thus, no "Thoughtful Thursday" last week. I just could not handle putting my thoughts out in a public forum when I was so venerable.

... not saying I am in a good place now. I am trying to heal but am taking things day by day, moment by moment.

I am....

 ... excited that I fixed a problem with the backing of a gift quilt. Basically I found a hole in the backing of the quilt that I am half-way done with hand-quilting. Thus, I cut it out when through my scraps and pieced together a backing for it. All without taking my germy self to the store! Go, me!

... hoping I finish hand-quilting my gift quilt before mid-May. It is actually a graduation gift for one of my wonderful friends who graduated in May of 2013! Yes, last year! So if I finish it before the anniversary of her graduation, it still counts as a graduation gift, right?
