How are your July sewing challenges going? I sudde How are your July sewing challenges going? I suddenly realized how tight the rest of this month will be between teaching Sunday school, teaching/decorating for VBS, and a trip to see family, all the while trying to finish Snug In Their Beds. So I'm seizing a few hours this weekend to work on Lydia's TDITM swan. I do not want to be sewing at 3am on July 31, y'all.

I've been MIA on socials lately because who has ti I've been MIA on socials lately because who has time to create content and also make progress on stuff? I tend to hole up in my studio, drop socials, and really focus. I want to be done with Snug In Their Beds, like ASAP. I'm shooting photos for the step by step instructions whilst following my own written instructions to make an ornament. Got my red pen and I'm marking changes as I go. Shown: Solid version of the headboard gettin' a bead foot.

OK, tada! I redid the nest on the goose with Julep OK, tada! I redid the nest on the goose with Julep instead of Citron. I liked both felt colors, but the Julep is more harmonious looking for the overall set. I keep trying to sneak the Citron felt in there because I like it so well, but it ain't workin. Had to get a little vicious to get the nest back off the goose, but I was able to hide the damage. 😂
