We are leaving for a mini vacation next week. Going to Lancaster, PA for some fun. So for our trip, I made Punkie a quilted notebook using this tutorial, courtesy of Rachel. She loves to write and practice her skills and spelling. I thought this would help pass the time in the car. It was quick, quick, quick! My binding is a hot mess though because Amelia was desperate for me to be finished with it and she would not leave me alone until I got it done. If she had let me be, I would have practiced my hand-sewing skills and did it correctly but sometimes speed is better with a 5 year old!
Sorry for the dark photos. I took these last night because I knew the notebook was going to go to Grandma's house this morning (and sure enough, she took it with her).
Amelia picked out the cute cupcake fabric during our visit to Joann's on Monday. I bought extra to make potholders or something out of it. It's quite cute! And it's a pretty, sunny yellow. Not this drab looking thing.
Okay, now back to my To Do list. I have a few potholders to make. Stacy and I are doing a swap. Have you seen my scarf?!? It's GORGEOUS! I can't wait to get it!! And I want to know if I can wear it in the summertime because I don't think I'll be able to wait for snow in order to wear it! I'm making potholders in exchange for the scarf and I have everything cut for the potholders; I just need to sit down and make them. But if you read the title of my post... NO MOTIVATION! But now that I've seen my scarf... these babies are getting done this weekend!
I also have a birthday prensent to get done. AND my pin cushion for my swap. AND a tote for my SIL's birthday.
So much to do, not enough time!!
I better get going! LOL!
Enjoy your day!
