School's Out

The last week of school went very well considering it is tough to keep everyone focused when we are completely off our normal routine.  I have lots of tricks up my sleeve and everyone was happy.  No absences because they all know I will make the day worth it!  The ultimate compliment!!

Wednesday's Fun: Bottle Rocket Launch = Science + Teamwork

I was totally exhausted after 10 hour days, so no sewing took place on the school days.  I did make more progress getting the classroom cabinets emptied than I thought I would and the kids pitched in to get the decor taken down.  All in all I am in a better position for Monday than I anticipated.  Woohoo!

This morning I woke up and sewed!!!  I got the last of the Scrappy Spools made.  Since there is no hurry on those, I have plenty of time to get them pleasingly arranged before I add the spool ends.  

Scrappy Spools are Done.  Any odd balls?

There are a few that I think don't have the same "look" as the others.  I need another eye to either verify what I think or let me know that I am overthinking it. Please take a look and let me know if you think there are any they aren't quite right.  Usually I don't care, but this time I do - I think.

I know there are only 3 flag blocks.  That is correct according to the instructions.

Next up for the weekend is my Crayon for the RSC.  This one will be pink since I made orange by mistake in April.

I could count out the Scrappy Spools now, but I haven't mathed that out yet.  A good project for later this week.  I love quilt math!
