May Accomplishments

May is often one of my slowest months for sewing, but this seemed to be a pretty busy month. I finished Mrs. Ivey's quilt before teacher appreciation week, so we gave it to her then.

I was even able to get an embroidery label done. The next thing I tried to embroider locked up the machine, so it's in being serviced now.

I finished the sample Everyday Wallet I made for the class I'm teaching in August.

I made boo boo bags for my MIL to give to her workers.

The Amethyst Project bag probably took me the longest to complete. It was a bit of a challenge, but I'm excited to make another one and teach the class in the fall.

I gave one to my co-worker Tammy and kept one for myself.

While we were camping I finished up these 4 Sweet pea pods. I have a bunch more that I started to work on as well. They are great for doing in the camper as I don't have to be precise and they are quick and easy.

With NO deadlines looming, I took out mom's Fall friendship braid and started working on it. I trimmed it up, only to realize some of the WOW were wrong, so now I am fixing those.

I went with Mikaela to her school field trip and I just LOVE this picture of her.

She graduated from Kindergarten last Friday. She just loves school so it will be a long summer. It's a transition for me to only do one drop off and start work 1/2 hour earlier.

We enjoyed Hart Ranch last weekend and the kids got to go on a train ride before we left. We simply love spending time there and are excited to be going back a couple weeks in July.

The label on that cute teacher quilt is so nice - perfect for her to remember your daughter years from now when she uses that quilt. Love those Ahh blocks. They are so intricate.

That's some great stash usage, lots of finished projects, and cute pictures of Mikaela - she's growing up quickly! Hope you're having a great weekend!
