Ok, so I didn't get my List for May completed; however, I had a lot of fun looking at it and thinking 'Gee what was I thinking!" Now, if I had paid more attention to the list and not wandered of the given course, I might have actually finished it. Of course, as I've mentioned, I lack the linear skills to stay on course. I like to wander off, it's amazing what you discover when you do!
List for May
1. Make Little Dress for Africa - Charity Yay!
2. Pillowcase Challenge (make more) - Charity :( but these are so fun, I know I'll do more soon!
3. Finish and mail my quilt for Bumble Beans Inc. Charity Yay!
4. Finish my sister's quilt! I'd better! Her birthday is this month!!! Yay!
5. Finish Mama's mother's day gift! oh she's gonna love it! oh Yay! she did love it! Pic below!
6. Complete quilt for my Little Ladybug's Kindergarten teacher I'm SO close! I've got one week before Summer Vac.!
7. Make Pillow Shams for Family Room chairs - I've never made shams before. Didn't even come close! lol
8. Make quilted kitchen towel holders - Any good ideas out there? Still looking for a cute pattern
9. Make trash bag holders for bathrooms Nope
10. Make trash tote and bag holders for sis and mama Nope
11. Make a scrap quilt top (just the top!) Started it!
12. Make something for my honey! It's his birthday this month! Yay! Peanut Butter Pie checkout this easy and soooooo yummy recipe!
Even though I didn't finish my list, I did accomplish a lot! Thanks Amanda Jean / Crazy Mom Quilts for the wonderful idea, it was a lot of fun! Below are somethings I discovered/accomplished while wondering of the path of my List for May!
1. Made Mama and Sis Soap Bottle Aprons! so fun! I still need to do a tutorial on this
2. Opened an Etsy shop! no way, right! haha well, now that I'm addicted to sewing I've got to find a way to earn my keep. ;)
3. Discovered EBAY!!! OMG! It is such a good thing that I don't Gamble! Bidding is such an addiction. And oh the fabric and deals I found! example: 5 yards of Thomas Strahan vintage fabric for $8! Beautiful!
4. Decorated some towels for Mama.
5. Made Dresden Coasters and a Daisy Mug Rug
6. Made coin/ring purses
7. Adopted a homeless kitten! Mao Mao
8. Finished another baby quilt, well almost. I'm just hand binding it.
For June, I'm considering joining a Quilt Along or Dresden Challenge. I'm not sure though, since I don't do well with deadlines and schedules. Have you ever joined a Quilt Along? Is it fun?
I hope you all have a great weekend! Find something new and try it! April@Little Mama Hen
