This week was our first full week completed of school. We've got 7 this year in school; kind of sad, we'll never have all eight together in school. Unless, of course, I count Jordan doing college courses at home while Titus is in school.
I forgot how much sitting is involved with the younger grades. I basically am sitting all morning. To help with my sanity, I've been doing alot of sewing. So I can go from sitting at the "school" table to the sewing machine at short intervals. This really helps keep me focused and not go crazy! :)
This week I started some felting projects and made two bags. I love the bags. I think I'll price them high so if they don't sell, I can give them as gifts :) I loved making these! I had the pieces all cut out for a quilt I was going to make for my bed. I started another quilt so these pieces were just sitting next to my sewing machine. (I hadn't gotten enough fabric so I was kind of avoiding it. I didn't want to buy more fabric and then the whim hit me to use the pieces for a bag! I didn't feel so badly about the time spent cutting and money spent on the fabric.)

I love your material. Where do you get it? I'm going to attempt those culottes this week. Bethany wants me to make a pair for her for round up Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI think I got most of the fabric for the bags at a quilt shop near us. It was mostly fat quarters. Have fun making the culottes, they were fun to make!
