Finally Seeing Progress!

 Any time I'm sewing a bunch of the same thing, I have times where I'm going a little crazy. The last couple weeks I was definitely struggling with that. Although I'm not finished all the prep work for the luggage tags, I'm done enough that I can start assembling them, and alternate between prep work and assembly. 

Now that I'm in assembly mode, I'm seeing progress pretty quickly. I've got about 75 luggage tags completely finished. I'm busting a lot of colored denim for these tags. Most of this batch has the same color on the front and back, but a lot of the tags will have blue or black denim on the back, but various colors on the fronts. Basically, the luggage tags will get scrappier as I go along. These have loops that match the base color, but some of the colors of denim I had, I didn't have matching loop fabric for. In those cases, I'm going to try to match the loop to the appliqued scooter. 

DH and I both had Covid this week. I got sicker than I usually do with Covid, but still wasn't very sick. It was like having a cold, no fever, no aches, just runny nose and cough. Unfortunately DH was not so lucky, and he ran a very high fever for several days. He's still feeling pretty cruddy, whereas I am back to normal. We missed one of granddaughter's concerts, which stinks, but it is what it is. Next week we have two school promotions to go to, plus a birthday party, and we should be able to make those. Since I never felt all that bad, I still sewed every day, and with DH being so sick, we didn't go anywhere or have anyone over, so I actually had a lot of uninterrrupted sewing time. 

I've been doing some prep work for Christmas presents already too! Mostly just making sure I have all the supplies for what I'd like to make. I ordered a few things, and once they arrive, I'll start cutting things out so I can sew them up as I have time. It may seem early to think Christmas, but we've got a lot going on this year, so I need to fit things in when I can.
