Oh so slow Monday

I had intentions of getting quite a bit done today, but it didn't quite work out that way.  I spent quite a bit of time off and on through the day reminding myself that it's Monday and not Sunday - it just felt like a Sunday.

While trying to clear up some of my mess from last week, I decided that I'd use up some more of the Aunty Acid fabrics to make accessories for my bag...

 First was this little pouch... it's supposed to close with a big snap but I went for the off center button hole and button.  It wasn't off center on purpose... I messed it up once and ripped the stitches out and carefully measured for the second attempt - I don't know what went wrong, but it's definitely not in the center.  Oh well, it's going in my bag and I don't care.  :)



 Next came the checkbook cover.. this needs a little reworking or altering of some sort... the checkbook fits perfectly - but I can't use the plastic piece that needs to be under the check when you write on it... I'll figure it out later... I don't write that many checks anyway.




 Got a package in the mail because it's Monday not Sunday lol....the backing fabric for the frog quilts..  I went on bugfabric.com and found some on sale for like $3.97 a yard ( give or take a few cents) so I ordered 5 yards to be sure there would be enough for both quilts.  It's so cute!!



That's it for today....  other than I got the first pattern for the Save the Bees BOM.  I wanted to do my RSC foxes first - that's why I was attempting to do some cleaning up.  I got the BOM pattern printed out and put in the bin with the fabrics - that's as far as I got.  Hopefully, I'll feel less 'tired' tomorrow and I'll be able to get something done.

In the meantime...
take care...

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one...
