June ran away and before I know it, it's almost July. I'm still trying to get the apartment cleaned up and organized and have made some more progress on it. I will have to change how it is set up but that's ok. I went to Goodwill and picked up a winged back chair for only $4 which was good and then also added, at the last minute, a computer table. Well the table won't work as a computer table but it is looking pretty good in the sewing area. :) I also got rid of my regular ironing board and picked up a small portable. That works better in my limited space.
I did manage to finish my tote bag. Had an awful time with the handles. The thread kept breaking until I slowed down my stitches to almost one stitch at a time. It's not elegant, it's functional. I put stuff in it today and took it with me when I went shopping and it held together so it's ok.
Like I said. It's plain and simple but at least I have a new bag. This weekend I should also finish mom's latest wall hanging. I have to redo all my Baltimore Album BOM blocks so she gets the centerpiece of the old block. I'll post up the picture when I get it done. I don't like my needleturn on it but she won't care. :)
