To start off I decided to add a pillow case to each of the baby packages that I sent to my cousins and their wives. The fabric on the front has a large barn yard picture that says Good Night (for the baby boy) and Sweet Dreams (for the baby girl) in English and Spanish. On the back it has animals and says what they are in both English and Spanish.
Next are a few plastic bag holders. One is long and skinny that hangs on my fringe. The other is nice and fat and currently hangs on the back of the chair I use while sewing. My two youngest us it as a punching bag while I sew. With a large family we need the big and fat one more then the skinny one but I wanted one small enough to having in the kitchen. Plus the cats like to rub on it and play with it while they watch me cook, so I am only tripping over my three dogs while cooking and not the two of them too.
My next item that I made was an apron for my friends daughter. It is a bit big for her right now but I think she will have fun with it. I was flattered when another lady showed up thought that the apron had been professionally done when she saw it. The little girl had handed it to the lady too look at while we were talking. She commented on it when I told my friend that I hope her little girl likes her apron before my little boys and I left.
I also made my oldest daughter a new scripture case. The one that she has been using I have no clue how we ended up with it, but I don't really like it personally. While looking for fabric for another project I came across a sample piece of fabric that was used at a furniture store or something. It reminded me of my daughter and looked like just the right size of fabric to try and make a new scripture case out of. This is the finished case.
The last thing that I have made recently is an outfit for myself. Something I usually do not do, make something for my self. Of course the fabric is stuff given to me, this one from my husband's Grandma. It reminded me of an old dress I use to have and a skirt that I currently have. So I figured that I could try to make a skirt and vest out of it. Considering I came up with the design myself and made it with out a pattern I think I did a good jog. Now I just need to get a nice shirt to wear with it. In the pictures I am wearing a cream shirt with it but today I wore the outfit out with one of my oldest daughters blue shirts. I think it looks better with the blue shirt. I think I need to go shopping to get some new shirts so that I have my own blue shirt and maybe a pink one to go with it too.
I have a few other projects in the work that I will add when they are finished.
Though I have been a very bad girl and avoided my cross stitch yet again. It has been at least a month now that I have not picked it up. So I need to start making sure that I get a little time on that everyday again. I was doing good for a while but was bad a put it aside and not touched it again. I really need to get it done so that I wont have to worry about doing that anymore. It drives me crazy that I am still working on it after all these years. I guess I need help to make sure that I stay on top of it and get it done once and for all.
