Repairs

the microwave. It had stopped spinning, so I found the part online and had it fixed in 5 minutes. I was so excited that it was so easy.

Projects

tons of sewing, thanks to Teri's fabric stash

3 baby quilts, one for my new nephew, one for Cherissa's baby, and one to donate

scripture bag for Lewis

2 minky quilts, one for each of my girls

new stockings for everyone in the family

3 pairs of shorts each for Lewis and Samantha

I also spent many hours organizing the stash. I have many projects cut out and ready to go. I just need to spend the time sewing them together!
