Alyssa recently had her 11th birthday and loves the band, One Direction. So, I made a few things for sister Joyce to give her. A vinyl front zippered pouch, made with a pattern by Terry Atkinson.
A Pretty Little Tote, made using the tutorial found here (I resized it)...
And, a kleenex cozy...
I heard that Alyssa is thrilled with her One Direction items, that Riley wore his pajama bottoms to bed last night, and that Ashley is wearing her skirt to school today. ~grin~
I also sent along some kleenex cozies for Joyce (I think that everyone in the state of Maryland will soon have one of these! ~grin~)...
In the meantime, I finished this pillow that I started the other day...
I need to organize my dresser and then I will be totally ready to spring clean and redo my bedroom! That will happen this weekend. I went through my closet yesterday...sorted through and removed 3 boxes, so that gives me a bit more room in there. whew. I had to order some fabric to make a new blanket for my bed for the brown dog to lay on. He presently lays on the little quilt I made back here...but it won't match my summer bed. So...a new one is in the works!
I am itching to start a new quilt...and to quilt another quilt out at The Electric Needle, where I am able to rent the longarm machine. But, first things first. Course, that doesn't mean that I cannot plan the quilt. Right? And, I need to make more skirts for Kaylynn and Ashley. And, quilt more quilts. And, I have an embroidery project to figure out colors for. Never ends, does it? That's a happy thought.
I hope your day is a good one for you.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.". Jeremiah 29:11
