Now What?

I posted yesterday how I was going to take time off in March from the Christmas Through the Year gift making so that I can focus on getting my Easter "baskets" done for the little girls in my family. Well guess what?  I finished them this afternoon!

Through the blog-land grapevine, I stumbled onto this tutorial and decided that is what I was going to make the girls.  Not overly huge but just enough for some candy and maybe a little trinket.

Aren't they cute?!  And truly, I made the aqua and red one first and loved how it came out so I dug in my stash for the others.  Took me 6 hours to make the additional three.  I just put the last knot and Fray Check on the ribbon 20 minutes ago.

This one is my favorite

Inside peek:

Easter is done.  Woohoo!  Bonus: these are completely out of my stash.  Ribbon too.  So no additional money spent.  My wallet is happy about that.

I think I'm still going to take on pass in March.  I REALLY want to get Swoon done so if I have any free sewing time in the next month, that's what I'm going to work on.  My goal is to get 2 more blocks done.

Well, I need to get ready.  Husband and I have a hot date tonight.  Punk is having a sleepover at Grandma's and we're headed out to a benefit dinner.  It's been a while since we spent any time away from home so it should be fun.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!
