Birdie Stitches - April and May

I'm only 3 months behind now (soon to be 4) but I'm getting there.  I bought myself a new gadget to help me with my stitching.  An OttLite LED flip light.  It's nice because there is a clip on the back.  I can clip it to the front of my shirt and get extra lighting to see what I'm doing.  ONLY fault of this handy gadget, the clamshell is HARD to open.  I broke a nail trying to do that.  And you can't keep it open because the light stays on.  Instead of an on/off switch, it's a push button inside the flip top.  It's only engaged off when the light is completely shut.  But that's my only complaint about that.

Okay, I worked on my April and May Birdie stitches blocks.  June is in the hoop, ready to go whenever I'm ready to sit down and start.

April

May

No real sewing going on here again.  Sunday was Amelia's 6th birthday party (her actual birthday is Thursday) so yesterday was a chill out day.  Today, I'm not feeling very well.  My head is heavy and my ears are blocked.  I'm just going with the flow and easing through my day.  I am taking Amelia bowling this afternoon.  Just to have something to do.

I started (briefly) my new Bliss tote.  Quickly realizing that I really need to replace my walking foot (it's broken) or I will be swearing at this new tote.  Sigh.

Enjoy your day!
