Finishing!

-
Once again, I have something like 47 projects started,
and
nothing finished.
So...

it is time to finish some projects.
Pillows above,
I think I have 5 or 6 more of those started.
And these flags...
just started on Saturday,
I had four more waiting to be done.


This apron,
I started a month or so ago.

And this tangled up mess on my sewing table...

is a stash busting project.

My mom showed me one that she was making

and I just had to START that also. 
Really,
just a block a day for let's just say two weeks
should finish that up.

Hope that everyone has a great week.
Mine is wide open for the first time in weeks.

I am loving it!
Nothing like a blank calendar!

Good Morning!
I'm catching up here and trying to put together a post but blogger keeps giving me fits! Posting comments has been a hair pulling experience so early in the morning too!
Hope you get to work on more projects during your "blank" slate of a week! Hah, you know you just jinxed yourself, right? Cute little toe I see poking out of your flag pic ;-)
Well, back to attempting my post!

Do you remember a few years back when you won my Procrastinator's Challenge? I'm reading this post and inserting my own unfinished projects in place of yours. Are you up for a little friendly competition? How many can we have done by say, Friday? ~Ann

I think that is part of crafting..having lots of projects going at the same time. I really love the pillow and admire people that quilt If I have to match more than 2 or 3 colors my brain really gets confused. So I will just stick with making doll.
Have a really great day!

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
