To-Do Tuesday #151

August has been a good month for finishing things up for me, and that's a good feeling. Some finishes came from last week's to-do list, so that's really good!

  • Two Table Scraps projects were finished, including one that was a little last minute "Drop Everything and Make It!"  So much fun!

  • A little pillow out of this cute sheep design that was a gift for my niece.  She did like it!

  • And Halloween Jubilee is finished, too!  Just a peek here - it deserves its own post, which I will write up for later in the week

This week is kind of an in between week - August to-dos are done, and September is just beginning.  So what's on the list?
  • Get started on light blue blocks - that is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for September.
  • Finish trimming up the Frosty blocks and try harder to find a sashing fabric.  ☃️
  • Give myself permission to play!  I have a couple ideas for that, so we'll see what happens...

    "Give myself permission to play" - be careful as squirrels might take that as an invitation into your room - lol! You are a good Auntie to gift that sweet pillow, and that sewing machine is adorable. Can't wait to see Halloween Jubilee.
    Thank you for sharing with us at To Do Tuesday!

    LOVE that little pillow. (I had a pet lamb when I was young so I'm very partial to them!). Sneaky on that Halloween project! I'll stay tuned!
