Finish It update.

Sunday, July 25, 2010


I have a confession, I've already failed the Finish It challenge
I know, I know, I only started it last week and there are only a handful of items on my list, one of which is nearly done, how the hell have I failed?
Weeeeeelll, I have an excuse.  Ok I have half an excuse but its a totally valid one.

Finished beanbag.
The baby I nanny for is 13months old now, and we are working on colours and numbers and I wanted to make her some beanbags.  Beanbags are great for kids and they are super cheap and easy to make.  When I get a new camera I will post a tutorial.  They are great educational tools, the ones I'm making are yellow, green, blue and red.  There are 4 of each so we can learn same/different, we can count, we can learn colours and we can learn inside/outside.  Plus they are super fun for throwing and things that aren't people or cats (actually they are super fun for throwing at them too but shhh, don't tell the kids).
So I have a super valid excuse for that.  The second project I have a less valid excuse for.  I found this super cute fabric at Walmart for $1.40 a yard and I had some batting that I had bought by accident, it was really bad quality and not even remotely good enough for quilts so I decided to make a cushion.  I think it turned out really well.  Again sorry for the crappy photo quality but if it really bothers you I am looking for a new camera so any tips would be appreciated, tips as in ideas for cameras and tips as in money to my paypal.  Wow I really am shameless aren't I?
Anyway so despite the fact that my embroidery project is very nearly finished I spent my time working on new things.  This is how the massive pile of unfinished projects starts.  I will try to be better, I swear.  Sorry Chase.
