WIP Thursday - May Day!

Technically May Day was Tuesday, but it is fun to say...And I am not ready for May either.  I really wish this year would stop flying by!
Final project for the Moon Beam strike off's!  Almost done, so you get late night pic
I had great plans for this last weekend/week...and only got one thing done.  BUT it was something that really needed to get done and took a lot of figuring out, so I'm glad it is done!  Next up is my final project for the Moon Beam LOTR fabric, then back to orders!
Second panel is going to be the other side of the purse, I'm trying not to hoard as much fabric...trying.
Also, some random fun in a sign I found recently at Joann's...perfect birthday present for a friend!
Is the song stuck in your head now? You're welcome.
