How Did I Do?

So, we ended up getting 10" of snow at our house, all on Friday afternoon/evening. It then sleeted for most of the day on Saturday. Church was canceled on Sunday and we even canceled work yesterday, so we had a nice long break. So, curious about how I did on my list? Well, not fabulous, but not horrible either. On Saturday John and I started cleaning out closets and I purged my dresser as well. Here's a peek at our massive pile for Goodwill. I'm so pumped that we've been able to get rid of so much. We actually still have the guest closet to go through, but we'll have to get everything else put back together first. We bought a few things to continue organizing the craft room, which I'm very excited about. No pictures of that yet. :)
I did make a couple baby gifts. Leighton is the baby girl of someone that John works with. She was born a couple weeks ago and I've been meaning to make something for her, so I did this bib and a onesie. I used the same fabrics and colors so that they coordinate but aren't too matchy-matchy.
I think Leighton is such a pretty name. Hopefully she'll get some good use out of these things.
I also started on some things for Pherson. I made her several things a few months ago when we only knew that she was going to be a little girl, but she arrived a couple days before we had a shower for her at work...and now we know her name. I have also since learned that Baby Pherson got her name from McPherson guitars, which her daddy plays. So, I thought it would be cute to play up that angle. What do you think? Is it ok? I hope they think so. There will be a few more things to come for her.
I didn't change anything on my purse...it's just been the same for now. And, as far as the jerseys go, they are currently disassembled and waiting to be sewn back together with their opposing counterparts. It was actually quite a task to take them a part in such a way that they will look good when I sew them together. It's still a work in progress. I'll show you the final result when I'm finished.
