More Accomplished today

YeA!!  I got my auction items done today.  Now I have to move on to my stamp club projects - cutting and getting things ready for our fun evening on Wednesday.  I also took a few summer night sky photos the other night.  Unfortunately, I didn't have the camera with me when Jenna and I saw some totally amazing cloud formations.  But I used my cell phone and we'll see if you like them. 

The whiter clouds looked like they had been rolled up and spread out with a frosting tip.  Later that same night I got the one above of the sun setting through the clouds and the trees silhoutted again it.  It was really pretty.  I used the Night Scenery on my camera.  It is interesting what these scene modes can do for pictures.  It is fun learning about them.

Here are my other reunion auction items.  I really love the bag, but they sure take time and energy to do.  I think the hardest part is "snipping" all the seams so it will fray!!  It makes my hands ache doing it. 

Now on to the laundry and my club projects.  Saturdays are just way too short.  I can't get it all done!!  Good Luck in your pursuits today. 

Working on some fun items

Yesterday I worked on some of my items for our family reunion auction.  It is fun to see what everyone brings each year, and even more fun to see what sells high!!  It is always a surprise.  I am taking aprons and rag-quilt bags.  I did the sewing on 1 bag and 2 aprons yesterday.  I still have to get the closure for the bag and the decorations for the apron pockets.  I still have a few more things to finish up before the reunion in a couple of weeks. 

Here are some pics of what I did so far. 

I also finished up a layout I was doing for the retreat challenge.  Finally got the pics mounted on it.   Now to just finish all the pics for Jenna's trip so it can be put in her book. 

My daughters have decided to have a yard sale next week, so my craft room is a total disaster!!  Good thing I cleaned it and organized it a few weeks ago - gave them more room to fill up.  LOL

I am thinking it will be a good day to put out some of my "items that I'll never use" and see if I can find my closets and shelves again. 

Here is a pic of the layout I did.  I thought it turned out pretty cute and I was using up things I had in my stash for at least 6 months.
