Owl

My first try at making an owl.
I know I stuffed the ears, but they seem to have lost some of the sharpness.

making it happen

I finished a green pincushion and it is ready to mail. 
The chipmunk pillow is done, ready to deliver tomorrow. 
All the onesies have cloud ironed on the design area and ready to deliver tomorrow. 
The hexagon table topper from Days Filled with Joy is ready to take to DD on Thursday.
It was very easy, so if you want the pattern click the link above.
The banner has the bias tape on them.
It is not in one banner because Lisa is planning on using them around the room and this will give her some leeway.

I have one more thing I'd like to do today.

August commitments

This is the updated status of my August commitments.
Note: this is the same list I've been using, so the changes are in a different color.
blue is the current update.
So many things to be done in August.
I've been given a later date on the baby clothing, which is a blessing.
I will continue to work on it, but am not so stressed out about it.
Other things keep popping up and needing my attention, so this list is actually longer, but I'm only tracking these items.
I've had another item added to this list, which is for DD's roommates for the apartment.
So, some things went to the back burner.
We also spent a couple of days moving her into the apartment.
I also forgot about the embroidery project for a friend, which is almost done.
So, not everything was finished, but lots of stuff was done.

DONE 1. Quilt previous test quilt and get it ready to take on the trip a week from Sunday to bind in the car. 
(ready for the trip)
(we are back from the trip and Interwoven is bound and on my bed)

DONE 2. Test quilt to be done by the 10th 
(finished the top, so I'm OK. I don't have to have it quilted)

DONE 3. Food embroidery should be done mid August. 
(I'm taking on the trip and don't see a problem with getting it done in August)
(Finished one of the columns while on trip, 2 more to go)
Top is quilted and binding is applied ready to stitch down.
Binding is done with label attached.

4. Baby Clothing quilt done by mid/late August/September.
