My Very Own Weekend.

This last weekend was the "Sassy Scrapbooking Weekend" although this time I decided not to scrapbook. I had a lot of little projects hanging around my craft room waiting to be completed. Since I have really not even opened any of my scrapbook stuff since the last "SSW", I thought I would be happier to get all those nagging projects completed. So to start a little show and tell...

I ordered the vinyl lettering for these blocks about 18 months ago. It has been patiently waiting it's turn to be placed on some blocks. (I ordered the lettering before I discovered sawdustsanity.blogspot.com) CHECK!
Same for this vinyl lettering. Luckily Adam was in town and was able to cut out the many blocks of wood I needed to get the project done. CHECK!

I saw a bag like this up at Swiss Days. It was done by a company named sweetandshabbydesigns.blogspot.com. I bought two patterns for darling rag quilts, but I thought I could just make my own bag in the size I wanted. I like how it turned out.

This is the back of the bag. It took forever for me to get the bag completed. I was glad I didn't have my kids interupting me while I was working on it. I know there is no way I would have been able to get it completed in one day. BTW, ssshhhh it's a christmas present for Breeley! CHECK!

Every time we go up to the "SSW" we make a little cha cha for each other. This is also something I saw at Swiss Days. I couldn't afford to buy one for everyone (18.00 each, I think), so I just made one for everyone. I made a total of 10 and each of them were different for all the different personalities. I made mine to match my craft room. CHECK! (I made these before I even got to the retreat!) P.S. Thanks for the help at Lowes Lisanne!!!

I sewed Hagen's Weblos badge that he received on Wednesday night. Party for me, it usually takes me six months to get these darn things actually sewn on! CHECK!

I got all of Abell's badges sewn on also. These poor guys only had to wait two months before they were taken care of. CHECK!

OOPPS. Sorry the picture is sideways. I stitched this about sixish months ago. Finally got it sewnd up to make a pillow. Still need to make it to the store to buy some stuffing. CHECK!

I also did this one about six months ago. Isn't it super cute. I got the patterns at Ben Franklin. It is designed by Twin Stitchers I think. CHECK!

By Saturday night I had accomplished all my projects (minus one that was too big to start) so I used some fabric scraps to make a few headbands. They are comfortable and dang cute in my hair!

I had a great weekend and came home with tons accomplished. It feels really good.

Hey guess what??? This is my 100th post!
