Motivational Monday, Week 37

 

Take the attititude of a student, never be too big to ask questions,

never know too much to learn something new.

-Og Mandino

 

This past weekend, I had the chance to travel to a photography convention with three friends.

 

 

We spent three days learning,

 

 

practicing,

 

 

and having a good time.

Motivational Monday, Week 36

Motivational Monday, Week 36

You never know when you're making a memory.

-Rickie Lee Jones

 

Within the past month, I was asked thru Etsy if I'd be willing and able

 to make 350 blankets for the Maple Grove Hospital's Baby Ball Event.

(It's a small world. Maple Grove is near where I grew up.)

 

After consulting my husband, I agreed to do it.

Once I had ordered all the fabric I needed,

I only had two weeks to get them all done.

 

Once I thought I was ready to start, I ran into a few hiccups.

I forgot to order more able mabel tags to put on each blanket.

One whole bolt of fabric went thru the wash with an ink pen, ruining it, so I had to order more.

My wholesale supplier of green minky didn't have enough in stock

so I had to order it from a different source, adding a week to the ship time.

So realistically, once I really was ready to start,

I was down to a week before my deadline.

I put in several long days at my sewing machine.

Luckily, on the last day I had my oldest girls help me.

We got them all done in no time!

This picture didn't show up very well on the blog.

I took it from my instagram account.

The finished stack, all ready to box up and ship out!

The stacks went up past my knees when I stood next to them.

Oh, the things you learn when you take on a project

of this magnitude with such a short turnaround time!

But, I got it done and I'll always remember it!
 

Someone else is happy I'm done!
