WIP Wednesday - Halfway Through May

A few new things did sneak on the list this week, but they should be quick finishes (and half are already done!)

Adorable fabric from Sky Love Creations, preorder opens on the 18th!

The plan for the rest of the week/weekend are to finish up more of the quick items, then jump on the baby bag.  The Doctor (Janome HD3000) decided he needed a spa day, so right now I'm down to my fancy, but not as sturdy, machine and I have a feeling the diaper bag is going to end up with a LOT of layers at some points.  If my machine isn't back soon from his tune up, I'll have to try Stormy (Juki HZL-300) on the layers but that was how I screwed him up last time and he's never really recovered fully. 

ID/Badge holders, back has clear vinyl pocket!

Did I mention that it's also awards season for the schools and I'm losing at least one evening a week to some celebration or event for the next few weeks?  At least we are done with sports, but this is just one of the reasons I decided to stop taking orders and try to catch up!  Hopefully next week will be a lot of items crossed off the list and I might even have time to do some fun sewing for me!

Two more unclaimed inhaler cases!
