To Do First - July

I just realised I forgot to do a to do first for June! talk about a scatter brain at the mo!
Anyway I did do quite a bit of sewing in June but unfortunately not a lot that I can show! so I wont bother with a mosaic, here are my June makes (linking up with Lilys' Quilts as usual)

A couple of pouch fronts waiting to be assembled!


A peg bag to brighten up a boring chore!



Finally got around to finishing a few bee blocks (not enough though, still have Junes to do!)
This teacup did get an embroidered string to the teabag label



 Finally sewed some eyes and whiskers on this kitty and got it in the post!

My Secret Project Quilt is now finished and I love it, its been posted off and when its arrived then I should finally be able to share. Hope they like it at the other end, Im very nervous about it

So now what do I plan on achieving in July

Must do -

Catch up on all bee blocks (sorry this must be getting boring, I say this every month!)

Make lots of things for my new Etsy shop and get it up and running - I have loads of ideas for this, just need to make time to make it happen!

Finish laptop pouch for brother in law

Finish new secret project - an exciting project for a certain super cool Ezine!

Make a handful of pressies

Might do -

Work on commissioned baby quilt for my sisters SIL - not due until November so no real hurry

Quilt Hairys hexagon quilt (he keeps pestering me!)

So what about you - link up your To Do lists

Piling Up

My WIPs seem to be piling up at the moment, I hate having too many things sitting there so I am determined to hurry up and get a few things finished asap

I have my brother in laws pouch to finish

My ironing board cover

My sisters ironing board cover

 5 quilt tops that need quilting

A baby quilt my sister commissioned for her SIL

and im sure there are loads more that aren't coming to mind at the moment!

One of the reasons that they have been put to one side is because of a secret project I have on the go, I cant give too much away in case nothing comes of it but here is a little sneak peak

Working things out

Ive been asked by my sister to make a laptop pouch for her husband (in return she is sending shoes over for the boys, super cute ones)
I have done the front and back


I just need to assemble it, I know how I want it to be when its finished, I just need to work out how to do it. Working things out often hurts my brain so I dont think, I just sew. Thats probably what I need to do, maybe I should just bite the bullet, sew and hope!
