We are in June! Hard to believe isn't it?
I need to get a move on if I am to achieve all that is on my list for this year. I am waiting for an order with some supplies to come in and then I can proceed with some plans.

Half way through the year and I feel like I’ve not accomplished much.

Holiday cards- I’ve made cards for all the way through Easter. The Easter and birthday cards need a greeting stamped in them. Looking for something for that.

Quilt- still needs quilted. I’ve not been anywhere for quilt backing.

Photo ornaments- son is helping me edit photos so I can get them printed.

Purse/ wallet sets- I made 2 sets from the leftover quilt fabric and one set with some leather. Just finished a set with some cork from my stash. I still want to make some using more from my leather stash and mom’s coat.

Canvas rugs- need to get the patterns printed.

The “pile”- will go through all of that this week as I HGP my sewing room.

Christmas 2026- I want to make a duffle type bag for everyone. Would like to do a test run on the pattern this summer and start working on gifts.

Ticking a few things off the list. I have so enjoyed getting back into knitting that the rest of the list seems to be put aside for now. I know soon that it will be too hot to knit so I am working on things as I can. Will swap to other crafts soon. Trying to keep away from Pinterest for now so that my list does not get too large.

I have finished the felt gingerbread men that I will use as gift tags.
What to move onto now, so many options.

Still don’t feel like I’ve accomplished much but:
Found a stamp finally for the birthday cards so will finish them up.

Did not find anything for a quilt backing in Amish country so will head down to country fabrics in sept for their big sale.

Photo ornaments are down to finishing up the last one of mine. Have a joint project with my cousin on the last 2, need to set a date.

Rug patterns will be printed this week!!

Have a small to do pile after HGP my sewing room.

Have fabric from my stash picked out for the trial run of the duffle bag pattern

I'm reassessing my to do list for this year. After speaking to DD she does not need some of the things that I had planned. I might move them to next years list or just remove them all together.
I am working on a few things that are not on my list...

Now have 2 quilts ready to be quilted.
Rugs are finished.
Birthday cards are finished.
Need to pin down a date with my cousin for ornament making.
Need to make the Santa gift sacks before Christmas. The fabric is in the to do pile.
If I don’t accomplish anything else this year I’ve decided I’m fine with that.

Have decided that I have finished with the items that were on my list for this year. They are not needed for this Christmas so will transfer them to the list for next year.
