But first! A short list of things it’s hard to do while a cat is curled inside your shirt, sucking up all your body heat because the Polar Vortex is a stinker:
- Write blog posts.
- Drink coffee.
- Live one’s life.
So, cat’s-in-shirt-aside, I’ve been tackling some small projects. Here are my latest Elvis postcards I finished up on Monday. More decorative stitches and some appliqued sayings to liven them up a bit. “Naughty or Nice?” is my favorite one.
I also finished a totebag pattern I was testing, so pics of that will be up soon-ish once the pattern is officially for sale. On top of all that sewing, I also had to replace the zipper in my daughter’s heavy jacket thanks to the cold weather!
This week I also became enamored with small projects, and will be making a Minecraft pencil pouch for a birthday present, more postcards, and some random project I haven’t yet picked for my guild sew-in tomorrow night. I also bought this Craftsy class on Travel Organizers that I’m itching to start, but need to pace myself and pick up the hardware first.
Those post cards are a real cute idea! I have been wanting to do a few postcards as a fun quick project. You just may have given me a really great idea fora lot of my novelty fabric panels.
These should sell well. I am not an Elvis fan but know lots of them. I have looked at that Craftsy class and was sorely tempted but decided I needed to watch at least 2 that I already own before I buy anymore I like small project weeks they can be quite productive. They don’t necessarily do much for the stash reduction but makes me feel good because l get lots of things finished.
