Small Project Sew Along

So of course you know Amanda Jean from Crazy Mom Quilts.  She's started a (low key) "Small Project Sew Along" for the month of May and I've decided to join.  I've never done a Sew Along before (deadlines = pressure and I get enough of that in my day job to commit to

any more!).  However, this one looks totally do-able and it's right up my alley.

You can read her original post about it here, but here's how it works:

1. Compile your list of small projects you would like to complete. 
2. Write it down in a blog post.
3. Throughout the month, work on your projects, as time allows. 
4. As you complete a project, blog about it, cross it off your list and do a little cheer. :)
5. Share your photos in the quilting with crazy mom flickr group. Make sure to link to the source of your pattern/tutorial/inspiration if you used one. 

I've already got #1 done via multiple post-it notes stuck all over my sewing space and my home office.  I'm a little afraid to put them all in one spot because I know it will be intimidatingly long, but it is step #2, so here goes:

1. Complete H2H quilt (just needs binding)
2. Complete Laura's quilt (just needs binding)
3. Make pillow to match Laura's quilt 
4. Finish quilt for Sujay (flimsy is complete)
5. Make 3 small memory (t-shirt) wall hangings (1 done, 2 not started)
6. Make 3 small memory (t-shirt) Mickey pillows
7. Make a green mug rug in time for Mother's Day
8. Make a pink mug rug just because I want to
9. Finish April Seasonal Skinny (flimsy is complete)
10. Complete 2 ladybug Seasonal Skinnies for May
11. Cut fabric for summer hexie project
12. Make a portable sewing kit / bag / holder / something-or-other 
13. Start (and finish) embroidery for "The Forever Project"
14. Complete "Om" block for "The Forever Project"
15. Make or find a simple pattern for a tote / beach bag
16. Make a year-end gift for my kindergartener's teacher
17. Make a year-end gift for my 3rd grader's teacher
18. Make a birthday gift for kindergartener's BFF
19. Make a "surprise" for my 11 running partners + myself

There's more, I know there's more.... I'm missing a blue post-it note.... 


I'm anxious to get started on #3 (working on projects - as time allows, of course), so I'll add my blue post-it note list if I find it.  Because, ya know, 19 small projects isn't enough for one month when you have two small kids and a 50 hour/week job outside the home.  ;-)


Are you planning to join?  I'd love to see what you're working on!  (And hopefully, not add *too* many more things to my list as I become inspired by your list!)
