Of course, Molly was right. Doing one thing after another, things are getting sewn and finished. I am slowly working through my list.

First came the bags

Then it was time for the Easter basket

Who would have thought I’d have such trouble sewing in a straight line? That’s definitely something I need to work on. For now, though, I do think the basket is usable and cute. Only it turned out much smaller than I anticipated. When I realized how small this basket was going to be, I’d already cut the fabric. I’ll probably make more of those baskets, though slightly bigger, next year.

Somewhere in between all that I managed to paint the Munchkin’s doll bed. I am still missing some Aslan tape and pretty paper to finish the bed base. After that, I’ll need to make the bedding.

I also ordered fabric from the US for the first time – what I wanted was so much cheaper there than it is here, despite the 19% tax I need to add to every shipment.  One of my two parcels arrived yesterday and I am smitten. I’ll most definitely order from that shop again. I’ll post a picture of the fabrics as soon as I get the last parcel in.

In between all that, the studying is going ok. I will need to set myself some deadlines this week – Ideally, I’d like to take one exam every four weeks. I hope that’s manageable.

We have a friend visiting this week, so things are a bit more stressful than usual. Of course it’s lovely to see her and our Munchkin seems to have taken an instant liking to her Auntie J, so all’s well.

Off to study for now, hooray.
