Five for Friday

I've hit a personal sewing record this week! Last Saturday I started cutting out fabric for totes and by Friday I had completed five of them! I don't expect a repeat of that this week, but I am definitely feeling better about the small stash I'm building up for Patty Fair. The one above was made mostly to satisfy my Halloween spirit, but I think it will find a proper home in December at the show.

I will have to work out a better system than photographing only on the weekends (I've grown accustomed to updating this blog more frequently than once a week), but for the next couple of weeks that might be what I have to do.

I have a ton of stuff scheduled for the next two weeks including Xander's fifth birthday and my brother's first annual Home Brew Fest. The birthday will keep me busy, and I have to work on some design materials for Home Brew Fest and Patty Fair this week. It will give my sewing machine a little time to rest.
