Week 1: Some new masks

So I didn't make the goal last year. Just between working more and larger, more detailed projects, I moved a little slower. But as always, glad to keep the goal for this year!

Week Twenty-Eight: Cowboy Bebop Crop Top

Local woman hates satin stitching lettering, continues to choose projects that require this anyway.

I'm still mad they cancelled my husband Jon Cho.

Week Twenty-seven: Oven Mitts

Okay so they look a little lobster claw-esque. It's fine, they're just for me.

Week Twenty-Six: More Xs

I keep having to pause finishing these because I don't have the right sized mini hoops.

Week Twenty-five: Donation Quilt

I make a lot of quilts for someone who really doesn't like quilting.

Week Twenty-Four: X-Stitch Necklaces Again

These are a bit tedious, but once I finish the stitching, they just all fall together. Hooray.

Week Twenty-Three: Unicorn Bibs

The only toddler/baby patterns I own are from the 80s. Sorry to the kids getting these donations. It's retro?

Week Twenty-Two: More X Necklaces

Am I REALLY regretting my resolution to do these in clumps now that I'm months behind??? Absolutely. Oh well.

Week Twenty and Twenty-one: Toddler Clothes for the Navajo Nation

I totally blanked and forgot to take a picture of two items for donation that I made. So instead I'll just drop this link to a great resource for info on reservation supply drives across the US.

Week Nineteen: X Stitch Necklaces

More of these little guys. Now that I'm behind, I'm regretting my choice to not count each of these individually ಥ‿ಥ oh well. I'm still gunna try to catch up!

Week Eighteen: Lil Boi Trinket Charm

I'M ALIVE. Just been a bit of a sewing failure lately. But hoping to catch up!

This is the smaller, more simple version of my Trinket charm I'm putting up on Etsy!

Week Seventeen: Circus Cross Stitch

Once, when my mom was stressed about work, she adopted the phrase "not my circus; not my monkey" as her professional motto. Now that she works from home, I thought I'd make her something for her office.

Week Sixteen: Big Boi Trinket Bag Charm

I'm really proud of how this guy turned out. He started as a keychain, but with his size I feel like he'd bea better bag charm. I'm hoping to sell some on Etsy so if you're interested, follow the bouncing link!

Week 15: Hip Pockets

Still alive. I wanted to test out some simple hip pouches for costumes and festivals and see if I could make up a pattern I liked enough to replicate and sell. I'm definitely not too happy with this first attempt, but hopefully I can futz it into something I like better and go from there on if I want to replicate it.

Week Fourteen: Another Blanket for Donating

Please ignore my need to vacuum.

I've probably said this, but I'm not a big quilting person, but I AM a huge fan of using up scraps. So I am happy to make some lil mini blankets for babies in need.

Week Thirteen: Strawberry Overalls

A little something to get me excited for summer. I found this twill at The Mall in St. Paul- one of my favorite antique stores of all time. I'd probably date it mid 70s?

I fricken love overalls.

Week Twelve: Quilt to Donate

I'm not good at quilting, but I love using up scraps.
