I didn't quite reach my goal from last Sunday. I wanted to finish the Planet Patchwork Lucky stars mystery top, but I still need to add the borders.
My little peanut likes it! She kept seating on top of it when I was trying to get it flat on the floor for a photo session.
My sister made 3 more tote bags. This one is from a big commercial pattern maker, (It reminded me how much I dislike them) Good thing it was bought on sale for $1.99. It definitely is not worth more than that. 
It doesn't help when your "student" refuses to follow instructions. She says "I'm creative and I need to do things my way" and I said: " Sure, creativity is great and a wonderful talent, I wish I had more of it, but good workmanship is just as important". I feel that good pressing, straight seams and using the right tools makes a better finished product and ultimately a happier "artist" but she didn't agree. I guess I need to be more tolerant and accepting, so I did my best and gave her space and my blessings to do as she pleased. I have to admit, she did a good job with her totes.
She is happy! And so am I. Some of the older fabric left my stash, my sister found out that when she says to me: "please hem my pants, all you have to do is tuck and sew here" I feel just as pressured and forced to do something against my will as she did when she refused to measure, mark, and otherwise follow any directions or instructions. LOL!
Overall, it was a great week, next week can only be better.
