Well, I'm almost done my monkey quilt. I did it using Funky Monkey by Moda and the Contra Dance Pattern. I've still got to put on the two borders. It's going to be so cute! And I'll finally have a quilt I made for myself!!
I'm also about to start a North Pole Quilt. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it when I'm done, but I think it will be cute.
I also need to make Grammy a birthday present before I next see her(her birthday was in the beginning of May).
I'm also in the process of starting a Big Bang Quilt. It's going to be a gift for someone. I'm going to do it in blues, purples, greens and black. I'm going to hand piece and hand quilt it, so I fully expect it to take a couple of years(which is fine). I haven't sewn with diamonds before, so I'm going to do a text project(probably wall hanging size) out of Christmas prints.
I'm in the beginning stages(my first block) of a traditional style Baltimore Album quilt. If you know me well, you'll be thinking WTF? It's going to be a wedding gift. I've narrowed it down to two people I'd like to give it to, and hopefully they'll marry each other, so then I won't have to decide who gets it.
All of my jewelry supplies is packed unfortunately, but I just got some beads in the mail yesterday that I can't wait to use! I bought them at Fetopia! So I'm going to have to start opening boxes soon, or risk going crazy.
I've started this art project - I'm doing a small doodle, poem, drawing or something every day in this little book I got on sale at Barnes & Noble. So far I'm doing pretty well!

I"m starting to prepare myself for Brendan, Evan and Selina leaving. They all leave the same day. It sucks. I'm totally not ready for this.

I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Oh you look so beautiful tonight...]]]
