We have had a great start to June & our summer break so far!
Monday, we had the privilege of delivering 166 stuffed friends to our Juvenile Court to be gifted to children in foster care. I've already received warm and encouraging messages about how well received our FLUFF Project donations are too!
That's right, to date, we have delivered 1,189 stuffed friends for children in foster care!
Sooooo exciting! And I can't wait to make more!
I have several stuffed friend patterns on my "To Sew" list for the summer! It's always hard to narrow down which one to sew next, I love them all!
That's just one of the many things on my goals list for the summer though...in no particular order, here are some of the (maybe a bit lofty) things I hope to accomplish over the next few months.
Cook more, especially with my children.
Sew curtains for my youngest daughter's room. (FINALLY!!!)
Fresh paint for several rooms in our home.
New skirts for my girls.
Sew "Busy Bags" & Totes for the foster closet.
Read some chapter books aloud to my kiddos.
Gifts for our local Animal Shelter.
Participate in library events.

Make new oven mitts, potholders and such for our kitchen.

And, take a few naps! ;)

We shall see just how much I'm able to get done.....I always tend to over estimate.
How about you? Any great summer plans?
Any new patterns or recipes you hope to try?
Would love to hear, so feel free to share in the comments, and hope you have a GREAT summer whatever you choose to do with your time!
