Just five more days until spring break...I can make it!  I am tuckered out and in desperate need of a break!  I didn't sew nearly as much as I had hoped this week, but I did manage to finish my March Bee Blocks 
as I made some progress with the scrap pile.  Of course, the bag doesn't look any less full, but I've cut quite a few more block components for my various projects.  I think I'll pin pieces together so when I have a few minutes here and there this week I can get some blocks sewn up.  I'm the type who usually just cuts the pieces for one block, then sews them together, rinse, repeat, not the type to cut out a whole quilt and then sew it all together, so having a bunch of pieces cut already is novel to me.  If I sew up everything I have cut out already, that's quite a few more blocks to add.  We'll see!
In other crafting news, I belong to a Buy Nothing Facebook group, and look at what I scored this weekend!  I tied a quilt some years back with buttons, and have been itching to do that again, so I was keen to get more buttons, but some of these buttons really make me want to knit up a garment to feature them.
Some of my favorites:
|  | 
| I love big buttons on hand knits | 
|  | 
| I can see this holding a cape closed at the throat | 
|  | 
| I'm ready to knit up a cabled cardigan just to use these beauties! | 
|  | 
| Can you say baby sweater?? | 
|  | 
| And who is this cute little critter?  Reminds me of a Sandra Boynton character... | 
|  | 
| So retro! I see another cardigan in my future. | 
I'm linking up with Oh Scrap and Monday Making.

It's hard to wait for a vacation but it's coming! Hopefully you'll have time to piece more blocks. They're very pretty, happy stitching!
What is the name of your Bee block? I don't think I've ever seen that block before. Have fun with the buttons.
Great score on that button jar!! Enjoy your time off.
The blocks pulled me in -- and what a delightful button assortment!
