Studio Post #39 - More Stockings and a Purse

I'm blogging this on Tuesday because I've been sick with some crud that I cannot shake! Last week, I attended a day and a half of a three day retreat. I was not very energetic or ambitious, but I got some stuff done.

Goal one was to make more Christmas stockings for our church project of blessing local teens. Here are some of the ones I got done at the retreat. The fleece stockings are so easy! (Plus, I'm trying to use up my fleece.)

Goal two was to make a replacement for my "sub bag" that I've worn out. It's a handy place to hold pens, post-its, bandaids, lip balm, etc. while I'm teaching. My original one was wearing out (and it's already been patched up, plus I've replaced the strap twice). The first one I didn't box the bottom corners (giving it less capacity) and I haven't added the strap yet. The blue one is functional. I'm not super thrilled with how it turned out, but it will work!

My original goal was to work on the wedding quilt for Morgan and Angela (married in 2016!) but I felt crummy enough (and made enough silly mistakes) that I'm glad I just left it in my car.

I'm so thankful that I rarely get ill. It is unusual for me to be dragging like this.
