Yea! I finished the pj's! I also added some little monkey slippers to match. I just posted the photo of the slippers. I thought they looked so cute.
Now, the big question is, which project to finish or start?!?!?!?

They just opened a JoAnn's but its about 1.5 hours from me..so im jealous of your JoAnns...we have a Hancock here, but its an old one, and not very well organized or ran. I got really LOUSY service there too.

The guilt of unfinished projects may turn to jealousy over fabric stashes!
My favorite stash hide out is the guest tub! Hubby never looks behind shower curtain.
Feeling a little guilty for not making grandbaby his pj’s. Just decided to go into JoAnn’s today and buy some more of the flannel monkey fabric. Great sale going on! The Christmas fabric stack just got larger, not to mention all the holiday buttons I bought! Good intentions to decorate stockings or purses with. I have 11 months, so many days to maybe finish the projects I envisioned for the new Christmas fabric stash!!! Some of my unfinished projects would be so vintage today.

I literally have a 4 drawer dresser and a 6 foot bookshelf stacked with fabric...and I can't say all that is for "appliques"...I have fabric for a quilt I started....8 yrs ago...tons of toy story and monsters inc fabric for never finished curtains...fleece fabric for baby snuggies and the baby is now 3...skirt fabric and the pattern...never used..LOL..and i dont think the skirt is in style anymore...two disney princess wall hangings for two nieces who probably are right at the cusp of out growing that stuff..LOL..i could go on and on I think.

I wish I just had 'an' unfinished project! I have several! I am still looking for the Christmas fabric I bought to make pj's. Digging through my 'stash' just sends my mind into other ideas and wha la another project started, mind forgets pj's, child ask for pj's, new project set aside, more 'stash' digging, another bright idea, could type this sentence forever! Life is never boring in my sewing disorganization!
