She's Crafty?

Because of the lull between rotations I've had a TON of free time on my hands and over the past couple weeks I haven't managed to be all that productive in that time. Yesterday we were done with supervision around noon-thirty and Julie and I intended to do pilates, but it was such a pretty day that we went for a bike ride instead. In case you guys didn't know, I'm totally out of bike-riding shape. (I just noticed after posting the pictures that the bike is holding the purse.)

Anyway, the point of this post is not my shape. After the ride Julie decided that we would get started on the project I asked her to do. She makes purses and I bought fabric around July/August for a birthday present for Meredith, but with everything so busy she hadn't done it, so we made Meredith's purse. I'll probably send it out...tomorrow or next week. Here's a picture to hold her over until then. I think it turned out cute. I might just keep it. :)

With my sewing machine joints greased I decided it was about time to pull out the remnants of a quilt I started nigh around 12 years ago for one of my 20 hour projects in Young Women. I will go ahead and state for the record that I DID work on it 20 hours before stopping. :) Mom was kind enough to drop it by on her visit. In any case, after a Lord Of The Rings Extended Version marathon the entire top is pieced together. It's not perfect, but it's halfway done and I'm pleased considering it's my first effort. Plus, it was nice to have something to focus on instead of letting this day get to me like it has been the past couple weeks, knowing it was coming. I just wanted to share.
Good luck tomorrow Ginny!
