This is a post about all the things that have been going on in my sewing room this week. It's a mess in there!
First, two finished projects this week. It is so gratifying to have a project that's all sewn up...done...
and even better if its started and finished in one day!
I made this Lil' Girl Springtime Tote from a tutorial on
Just Another Hang-up. (love that blog)
I made this baby in an hour and a half. Not bad, especially with two kids crawling all over me!
I love how it turned out...and it's just the right size for a little girl. I think I'm going to applique a flower on the linen side, but I didn't have time yesterday.
I also finished this little Shabby Owl Pillow yesterday.
Both the bag and the owl are for a cute little girl that turned five yesterday.
I made the Orange Owl in honor of her "O" preschool day on her birthday.
We're not going to talk much about the owl, because I think it looks a little scary! She named her Lucia.
I'm glad she likes it!
Again, I made this from a tutorial found on Just Another Hang-Up.
(Her owl is way cuter than mine!)
And a few new projects:
Okay, this one's not new...but I haven't blogged about it yet, either!
I have been working on this project for about four months now, and I'm loving every minute of it.
I always try to have a hand sewing project around all the time. Handwork relaxes me and soothes my spirit. I can't think of any other way to say that. When I'm sitting down in the evening, watching TV or a movie with my family, I like keeping my hands busy. Makes me feel a little less lazy for just sitting there.

I think I'm going to stick with light and dark values of red for this quilt. I had planned to do a multi-colored quilt, but I can't bear to put other colors into it. I love the reds and pinks.
I still have quite a few to go, but I think I have a good start, don't you?
Another little fun project I've been doing this week:
My mom's birthday is tomorrow, and I thought I'd make her a cute little pinwheel table runner in her favorite colors.
The five pinwheels are pieced from carefully selected charm squares of Buttercup by Fig Tree & Co, and Kona Snow, my favorite white-ish fabric.
And...
My very first Sparklepunch block!
Don't you love all the marker doodles on my cutting mat?

Have a great weekend in your sewing room! I know I will!
