WIP Friday - Farewell to April!

How did another month fly by so fast?? I don't really know what happened this month (thanks, allergies) but now it's time for the end of school year frantic times! The oldest will be returning from college soon, the younger ones will have all the end of year events, and so many birthday next month!  

The zombie brains glow in the dark vinyl is from Wizardry, Stitchery, and Crafts

It's so fun!

Greenery 27 Pocket Wallet

Did you ever look at a pattern and think, 'eh, it seems pretty easy.' and then later come to regret all your choices in life? Just me? Hmmm... Actually this pattern isn't THAT bad, it just has binding on every part of the wallet and I really hate doing binding. I never feel like the sewing machine does it straight, especially over uneven layers, so I end up hand sewing it all on. And I rarely hand sew anymore so I'm SUPER slow at it...

Clean and simple outside

and it opens up to a ton of pockets!

WIP Friday - Spring is Sprung!

 At least this week it feels like spring, which brings in all the allergies...so awesome. I'm sure we'll get snow again at least one more time, but everything is growing and I've even seen some green! I just need to remember to take the allergy meds EVERY day, and then I don't feel like my sinuses are trying to explode.

Sewing Mice - Waist Bag and All the Small Things!

These go by many names: Fanny Pack, Waist Bag, Go Pack (I might have made that one up), Bum Bag, and probably a few more I'm forgetting.

I've been informed by a child that this is the only acceptable way to wear these - cross body.

WIP Monday - And Now It's (mid)April.

I'm still looking for a 'pause' button for my life, just so I have a chance to try to catch up on everything...or maybe someone selling some free time because I can ALWAYS use more of that! Between the day job, the crafting, school stuff for the kids, and everything else that seems to require my attention RIGHT NOW, something needed to get pushed to lower priority. Unfortunately that's the blog for now, but I'm not totally giving it up! I just need to sit down and dedicate a few hours to writing ahead on the posts so I can schedule them better...

Almost finished!
