do good - project update

So, I've been meaning to update you on what I've been doing every day but I've just been making progress on the many projects I've started due to this do good challenge. I was hoping to show pictures of the finished projects, but I just can't get them finished! So, I just wanted to give you a list of what I'm working on and then when I actually DO post about them when I get them finished, you will know that I was doing good. :)

Here is what I'm working on:

1.Annie's blessing dress. This project is so close to being done. She is getting blessed on Oct 13, but I want to finish it by Oct 8th so I can show it off to the ladies in my Needleworker's Guild. It will be a push but will get done. What is finished is soooooo beautiful, I can't wait to share!

2. Pam's gala dress. Pam is a good friend of mine who needs a fancy dress for a gala she is attending on Wednesday. Yes that is only four days away. She found an amazing dress but it needs sleeves. I'll be working on said sleeves either tomorrow or Monday evening, I'm not sure which yet.

3. Award of Arms scroll. I was asked to do another AoA scroll. Yay! I have it all planned and just need to sit down and do it. It will be awarded on Saturday (fingers crossed) and I will post a picture when it is completed. I am hoping to finish it tomorrow.

4. Thread covered buttons. Mistress Bianca is making some amazing (as in insanely amazing) tabards for our royalty. She decided to make them with thread-covered buttons. She needs something like 200 buttons to finish the tabards. I grabbed a bunch and am now working on them when I have a few minutes here and there. It takes me between 15-20 minutes to finish a button. I have all the stuffs to do 45 buttons. You do the math. :)

5. Days for Girls. Thanks to Leann Olsen, I found this group that has one of THE best charities I've seen! http://www.daysforgirls.org/. I hate menstruating (and seriously who doesn't). I have problems with all the advantages I have and can't imagine how difficult it is for some of these girls. This group is trying to put together something like 200 kits and need 500 more liners. I contacted them and said I would do 100 liners for them. I might end up doing more but am somewhat limited on time right now. If I can find a good day with many extra hours, I will get more done.

And those are my five BIG projects I'm working on. I will upload pictures for them all when I am done. I plan to be done with all of them by the middle of October so you don't have to wait very long. I promise!

And now you know why I haven't updated a specific project. :)
