For the first time since probably last January I spent the whole day today being crafty. No housecleaning, no laundry, no school. Just creativity.
I completed the piecing for this small wall hanging using a favorite pattern called "Mexican Stars" and my fabric stash. I got it ready to machine quilt. It will be a practice project for learning the quilting features of my new sewing machine. I plan to put the finished wall hanging into a family Christmas gift exchange next month.
I also spent some time making a birthday card for my little brother. I haven't made any cards in ages and this one was fun. I did a bit of gelli printing as well as some stamping.
School day Friday followed by a busy weekend. Next week I have more sewing projects including plans for some Advent banners for church.
