The Best of Intentions

I had plans for the four days of Christmas and Boxing Day. Day three is drawing to an end and let's just say I didn't make all that much progress. Christmas Day I worked on the SAT piece. Finished 5 of the six wavy strips but couldn't figure out strip 6. Set it aside.
Yesterday, I made a tote bag from upholstery fabric someone brought to a FAT meeting over a year ago, some ultrasuede I didn't use in the intended project it was purchased for and some unidentified fabric from a garage sale. The results are not bad considering that I am written instruction challenged. I may have skipped a step or two or done one or two wrong but I'll know what to do (or what not to do) the next time, if there is a next time.
Today, I sat down with the paper piecing instructions, read them over several times and decided it's not for me without actually seeing it. I will try to make a piece doing a freezer paper piecing method I discovered when I was doing crazy quilting. I am going to try to make a butterfly for the 1,500,000 Butterfly Project of the Houston Holocaust Museum. Maybe tomorrow.
This afternoon we went to Michael's to use a gift card I received (thanks, Saul). I bought some silver beads (hopefully I can finish strip 6 now), some letter stamps and some ink pads.
So if I can finish the 6th strip and start on the butterfly tomorrow, I'll be happy.
There's another 3 day weekend coming up so maybe by then my productivity will have returned.
