Tote bag handles and what's blooming

I managed to get all the tote bag handles top stitched.
When I make the tote bags I use up thread that I don't like and clean off the bobbins of leftover quilting thread from different projects. I don't care what color the thread is. I had a big spool of this yellow quilting thread. I don't know what brand it is or even where I bought it, but I didn't like it so I am using for stitching bags.
I do need some bigger bags for when we sell autographed drumheads. The regular bags I cut 15" x 34", but the drumhead bags I cut 19" x 38". The regular bags will fit a vinyl album. I have this bolt of stiff fabric that someone gave me. I will be cutting a few drumhead bags out of this since we only have a couple of those bags left in the merch case.
The Shasta daisies are starting to bloom and I had another very pretty pink poppy.

The shaggy poppies are so pretty. Shasta daisies are looking good too.

As always...you are the busiest person!!! Love the idea of using up older threads/etc. I try to do that myself! Waste not, want not! Right

My shastas aren’t blooming yet. One of my favorite flowers. We had them outside my bedroom window when I was growing up.

I also look for projects where I can use up bobbins or ugly thread. Foundation pieced blocks seem to work well. Also my dog beds.
