Project overload!

It's been awhile since I have posted any projects. Doesn't mean I haven't been working on any! I've told myself that I can't start anything big until I finish the blankets for the boys beds. So, I've done little projects...I made this skirt for me!! It took less than an hour. Super easy. I got to try out my new serger and the automatic buttonhole maker on my sewing machine. Now I won't be scared anymore to make anything with buttons! I had to make two little buttonholes to put the tie through on the skirt. It just might be a summer for skirts because I'm making one of these in every color!

Christmas in April? Yup! I made this wall hanging early because I wanted to see how easy it would go because I'm going to make two more for special people for Christmas. Embroidering the pictures is the only part that takes a while and that can be done while watching T.V.

Okay- this little quilt took me a while to get used too. But, it has grown on me and I really like it. I usually don't pick these colors but I had them because they had come in a cute little package. I like the browns and greens and oranges. It still needs to be quilted together which I'm going to try out on my own. It's not very big--more of a decorative quilt.
So, if you don't hear from me for a bit it's because I'm following my rule and only working on the boys blankets, which are both more than halfway done.
