SHEs Organized

I finished up a biege puppet with pink mouth & blue eyes last evening and started another one today it is lavendar 75 % done now.
I have fabric bags cut out and ready to seam up.

Most of my time has been focused on the yard this month till we got rains.
I made a fabric gift bag this morning with a ribbon drawstring.
Did another bag.
Have the next batch of four under construction as well. Done! These are purple corderoy.

I've been mostly off stamping lately but this a.m. I am going to "stamp camp" where we make three cards - she has precut everything so we mostly just assemble. I'll order a few needed supplies also.

Working on another puppet.
I saw some sail cloth type fabric at the store with tea service print on it I am trying to decide what it could be made into. I waited to get it until I had a specific project in mind.
I am considering making an apron, or set for dd & dgd around mothers day.

Dd was by here last night and afterward was going to pick up something for an elderly congregant who has been recently hospitalized and is recuperating at home. I took the opportunity to pull out a card "Thinking of You" to sign and have dd take. I need to remember to use my cards!

Had holes in the fabric on my fav. Shirt above the too long cuffs so I cut them
off and the shirt tail is now even and hemmed sleeves & bottom of that shirt.
I had not done that before so am confident I can repeat this on other shirts now and
Can do a cheat seam to shorten sleeve length so cuffs fit next!

Today I made eye glass cases. I had a big piece of material, the kind that is already quilted. I'd made a nice little tote bag (small size) for DMom years and years ago and had this piece left. It was cream color with burnt orange wee flowers all over and the other side is burnt orange with cream wee flowers.

Wanted one for my glasses in the family room. Showed DH after I made the first one. Did he want one for his pair at his end table? Yes! And how about for my 3 trucks where I keep reading glasses? Ok I can do that, how about for the pair you keep at the kitchen table? YES! Silly me, I thought he wouldn't care about using something like this. He always just threw his glasses down wherever he was...

So I made those. Then one for my desk, one for the computer room, one for my purse, one for my sunglasses, one for my bedroom, one for the snack bar where I sort mail... then DH says what about mine at my desk back by the computer? Ok made that last one.

12 made! I should go into production!

Embellished one with ribbon. Some I seamed on the outside with bias tape to cover seams. Some I put contrasting fabric flap at the top; some I seamed up the sides, some just on one side. They're not all perfect but I think they're pretty.

How gorgeous, Harriet! What a creative thing to do, I'm sure it was much admired!

Harmony, your glasses cases sound so pretty.

Harriet, your fruit platter looks so pretty and delicious.

I really miss doing the little bit of creativity I was doing. I have two unfinished quilts and lots of ideas for things I want to do. Most of my material and craft supplies are packed. I dream of the days when I can start up again, life can be so boring without that outlet.
