I'm so ready for extra time off, even if it's just one more day than usual! I am planning on getting a bunch of things going on both the embroidery and sewing machine and also take some time to relax! Orders and projects are starting to come in a little faster, so probably more sewing than relaxing...but at least I usually find sewing to be relaxing!

| Sneaky peek of some gorgeous plaid fabric coming in June! |

| Perfect for the Van Gogh experience, or just Gogh-ing around town. Yes, I did that. |
I seem to finally be getting more motivation and energy, which means I'm probably due for a cold or something to pop up that needs immediate attention and time... I hope not, but that just seems to be how it goes! I started accidentally collecting more plush blankets again (in my defense, they released pretty new ones) so it's time to throw them back on the machine, once the etsy orders are caught up! I would love to find something else pony related to add to the shop, since that seems to be about 80% of my sales, but I'm just not sure what would be a good thing...I always have a bunch of ideas going through my head, but usually don't have enough time to do more than add them to a list. I'm actually getting caught up on orders, so maybe now is the time to try out some new things!

| My crochet is more for relaxation, so I take my time...this took me at least a few months, maybe a year? Or 2? |
I wanted a quick Star Wars blog post for today, so I dug around for something to share! This was a Free N' Easy wallet from ChrisW Designs that I whipped together the night before leaving on a business trip last year, so the pictures are not my best. The vinyl is really gorgeous, a lavender with floral Rebel symbols from Knitorious. I could go take some better pics, but my business cards left some ink on the pockets, so it's not as pretty inside as it was. (I didn't even know they could do that!) An R2-D2 inspired snap was the perfect closure for this wallet.

| I meant to do the x sewing at the top. Totally didn't do it to disguise my crooked late night sewing. |
I'm so not ready for May -- this is another busy birthday month for my family and it seems like a million things for the end of school are going on as well! I've been taking my time on the next order, just doing a few steps a day and enjoying the process, but I really need to get it finished so I can sneak in some fun Star Wars sewing this weekend! I'm taking a break from listing new fabric for destashing (and hoping that some of the stuff sells so I can have room to pull out more), but I still want to work on my organizing and cleaning! Obviously I'm not keeping up on my 2024 goals of doing one UFO and one new pattern a month...but maybe I'll jump back on that soon.
