Bed sheets and Pillow

Today... I fixed Daniel's little pillow that he had had since he was a baby.  The stuffing in it had gone wonky when I accidentally stuck it in the dryer after washing it.  I opened up a seam, took out the old stuffing, laid out new stuffing for it and sewed it shut.  And its done!  (after sitting around for at least 6 months)

Then, I also cut two king sized flat sheets down to queen size and sewed those.  I also cut and sewed two king size pillow cases as well as cut two more king size cases, but I still need to sew those.

And... for this past Christmas I had hoped to give our Christmas Day guests a cranberry orange loaf in a little felt bag.  I had purchased the fabric, cut out the bag pieces and did the fabric paint, but had run out of time to sew them.  Well today I sewed one bag.  I realize Christmas is over but I can save them for next year, so I'm actually excited about that :-)
NOT BAD FOR A DAY'S WORK!!

Mattress Cover

FINALLY - cut down my king sized mattress cover to fit a queen size bed.  It only took an hour but it has been starring me in the face for the last 1.5 years.  Ugh!!  I don't know what I was stalling for but now that it is done, I am sooo relieved.
