If you read this post you know that last week I made a plan that included far more projects than was humanly possible to complete in a weekend. I made some progress on some bee blocks one evening last week which I mentioned in Progress Report #1 so I kind of got a head start. I am happy to say that I did make good progress, although of course I did not cross off everything on the list.
I made some bento blocks for the Scrappy Bow-Tie Block Swap. I totally missed the first deadline, but apparently I wasn't alone, because Alisha extended the deadline. I made 10 blocks, so sliced in quarters that makes a total of 40, but I messed one up in the slicing, and so sent 30, but only have a couple of useful ones. Oh well, I guess that's what I get for trying to slice blocks before work in the morning.
And I made a prototype pinnie for the Fab Little Pin Cushion Swap. I'm not sure I like the base - especially since it's glass and this little guy has to travel a long ways - but overall, I like the concept. I found the tute on the DIY Network. If you find a good source for cheap candle sticks or something else that would work for the base, please let me know. I think the peg is OK for the top, but I think I need to add it before the pinnie is completely stuffed because I don't like that it sticks up as far as it does. Lessons learned.
And I made my pot holders for PP11. The theme was "summer time". My partner likes - uh, well, guess. I'm thinking that these need a bit of embroidery to finish them off. Maybe some seeds to add to the overall theme.
I'll save the rest for Progress Report #3, since the pictures are still on the camera.
Hope you had a productive weekend too.
