    I am getting so excited and so is my husband! Surprisingly, he came in from the mail, "Squishies are here!" Then a little later, " Aren't ya gonna open the squishies?" I had to tell him I would on my birthday ! (Although I peaked at BJ's that I got for Mother's Day)

    It's not even June! and I have them from:

    I’m not sure if this qualifies as a 2,5 “ project for the 25th, but I’ve been trying to figure out a good way to organize by color *and* use up “wasted” storage space. I might move these drawers closer together to fit more drawers. The acrylic holders on the bottom are for patterns and magazines. You are supposed to wait 24 hours before using them, so tonight I’ll start organizing the books, magazines and patterns. Hugs all!

    Reba quilts, That sure looks like a project using 2.5's to me.

    Here is my contribution to the 2.5 Day submission. I decided to get started on the Red Pepper Quilts: Scrappy Cross Quilt using my collection of Christmas fabrics. Some from last year's side swap, others are from my stash of 2.5's and others will be cut from my odds and ends of odd bits of holiday fabric.

    Cute design, WMUT! Yesterday was our anniversary so I didn't get any sewing done, but I have plenty of patterns in mind for the 2.5s.
