What happens when the weather is rainy and gloomy three days before Wednesday?  That's right, no photos!  Normally, I just wouldn't post at all, but this week I decided to go the silly route!  So you are going to have to use your imagination!

I finished my Style Stitches Checkbook Cover, and I honestly think it turned out great and was so much easier than previous Amy Butler projects, yippee!  I also finished up my pouch for the Pretty Little Pouch Swap, also quite happy with the results!  I will be posting about both of these projects as soon as I can take pictures.

My Advent Calender Quilt is back from the long arm quilter and is now awaiting a binding, which I already have cut and ready to sew on!  Plan on doing that today!  Very excited to get this project wrapped up.

I joined a sew-along this week to make a tunic for myself, you can read more about it HERE.  I need to get working on this, and am quickly falling behind.

That is all I have today folks!  Sorry I don't have any photos, hopefully next time.  Hopefully you had a successful week and were able to accomplish a lot!

I just wanted to say that I think it was super cute to have no photos but still do I post. I'm always afraid of post with no pictures on my blog. This made me smile.

You're so funny. I'm impressed you're getting your advent calendar finished up in April! Very nice. I have the Amy Butler book too. I need to give the checkbook cover a try!

Heehee...love what you did in place of your pictures. I was confused at first! I always hate doing large posts without pictures to break them up, so this works perfectly!

Can't wait to see your finished projects.
