July Accomplishments and August Goals

I had some really modest goals for July:

1. Quilt, bind and deliver the green quilt (it's sooooo close that it will be done this week)
   
2. Add the borders to the vulture quilt (didn't even look at it)
3. Make some birthday postcards DONE!
4. Cut out some doll outfits DONE!
5. Cut out the rest of the veterans kits DONE!
6. Pack my vacation projects DONE!

The only reason that the vulture quilt isn't done is that July tuned into Bag Mania month. I had so much fun making these. I was inspired by a crochet person that I follow on YouTube. She was making drawstring bags for her crochet projects and I thought I'd make a "couple" for my crochet projects. That turned into about 22 drawstring bags and 13 zipper pouches. I gave away 4 and almost all of the rest are in use storing the yarn stash that I swore I'd never have. 

I'm continuing to learn to loom knit and my hands are healing and I back to doing some crochet. I finished 2 loom knit hats, 2 scarves and 1 crochet wheelchair blanket this month.

I also made another set of fabric postcards and quilted a quilt for Mom. 

All of my trip projects are packed and I'll post about those later this week. 

My goals for August are minimal since we will be gone most of the month. 

1. Finish and deliver the Big Green Quilt - it will be done this week before we leave
2. Quilt and bind 2 veteran's quilts. Very doable  if I quilt them really simply.
3. Vacation projects
4. Read some books with my eyes instead of my ears
5. Relax
