Work has been driving me crazy recently (ok, crazier than usual...) and really bringing me down, so I decided to take a couple of days off to spend at my sewing machine and try to stitch myself into a more positive frame of mind. So far I've finished the piecing on these two tops below and just started another one today.

This is one I started earlier in the month then got stuck on how to finish it. Thanks to everyone who steered me away from a purple border and into the land of royal blue. I really like how it looks.

This next one is more subdued... I like the finished look but I don't think it's going to go to the intended recipient. I'd planned it for a friend's 5 yr old - a serious little soul, so I didn't want anything too child like or girly but I think I ended up with something that's too 'old' for her instead. Never mind, I have a polka dot charm pack in my stash that's just screaming to be unwrapped.

Thanks for looking!
