Holla Hustlin' Homies! We have reached the t^(1/2) of this 100 day Hustle hosted by Kelsey of Kelsey Sews. Linky party to catch everyone's awesome hustling skills is happening in honor of reaching the 50 day mark. So I feel it is my duty to now beat you over the head with my Hustle 'n Bustle business. Let's jump in!

So if we re-examine my list and condense it down to all that is remaining we have the following:
1. DWR
2. FInish Nubees quilt
3. Christmas ornaments
4. Christmas wine totes
5. Marla's holiday delight
6. Family Christmas quilts
7. Best friend's birthday pillow
Which in half the time I have almost completed half my list. If I put a little more oomph into my Hustle I may just finish this list! Now make sure to check out everyone else's Hustle endeavors over at Kelsey's!
