500 pc circular puzzle I got from a friend in trade for my paper umbrella puzzle. This was a nice, relaxing build and I'll probably keep this one for a while and do it again.

Galison Avian Friends

 The birds were fine, by matching the faint hues of the different squares at the end was painful.

Bgraamiens Queen in Mandala

 I thought this would be annoying at first, but I ended up doing it in sections with the letters on the back of the puzzle and it turned out to be quite calming in the end.

Jantens Mandala puzzle

 The best-made thing about this puzzle was the box. I'm going to use the pieces for a collage. So, first it was poorly made - several of the pieces were coming apart. This was made even worse by the fact that all the pieces were almost exactly the same size, so the only way to tell whether they were in the right place was to look at the colors and pattern (which were kind of swirly) and then peel them out and try again. There was also an extra, duplicate piece. I am not kidding. I got it done because it had letters on the back and I divided it into quadrants.

Tiger Lily skirt

Second try on pockets - this one turned out well (yes, I only put one pocket in, that's all I need, to hold my keys). The fabric is by Heather Ross, Tiger Lily Mud, and I made a longer version of the skirt so I can wear it in storytime with less chance of the kids looking up it.

Another elephant

 This one I sewed the ears first, but I think they're too small when hemmed.

Bird skirt

 The fabric was probably from Joann - brightly colored birds on a white background. I tested out adding an in-seam pocket, using a pattern from See Kate Sew. I figured out that I put the pocket too low and also that the pocket pattern is too shallow and wide an opening - I use it for my keys mostly - so I'm going to sew up an inch or two from the bottom and that will fix it.
