The Fiona's Freeway Sew Along is over halfway done, so I hope everyone has at least started! I am almost caught up on everything that HAD to go out this week (almost being the key word...) so I'm planning to get mine busted out on Friday in between all the other million things I have planned for my day off. Anyone have some spare time I can buy? If you are on track, it's time to start the lining! This weekend will be time to finish it all up, so be sure to watch for the videos in the ChrisW Designs FaceBook group!
Perhaps the most amazing thing of this past week was that I totally finished a crochet project! I'm notorious for starting and getting the crochet part finished, but then leaving all the finishing sewing and stuffing for months...but this one was in the UFO bag only 1 week! New record?

| Back of the pouch, I should have bought a bolt of this fabric... |
I managed to snap a few pictures of the zippered pouches before I sent them off, but I'm still figuring out the lighting in the new house, we have TONS of natural light but just not the 'right' natural light...
Current Projects:
- Ellen's Esplanade - in custom knit Disney inspired fabrics - Just needs the strap and then it's ready to go - hardware arrives Friday!
- Clematis Swap - has to mail Friday but I have everything ready to go, just need a spare few minutes/hours to cut and sew!
- Fiona's Freeway sew along - time to cut the fabric and get it going!

fabrics all picked out, patterns printed and half cut out, missed the start of school deadline!)
2 3 quick zipper pouches -Done and mailed!- Swoon Sydney messenger bags for birthday presents (from April and May...)

Current Crochet Projects:
- WeeBee baby doll - Just needs
some face details, and maybe a swimsuit to wear when she's not in her
tail...bikini sort of works...made up my own pattern and it's
interesting...
- Chunky Unicorn Blanket - almost finished up to the hood, then just ears, horn, and fringe!
- C2C (corner to corner) baby doll blanket crochet with some random scarfie
yarn - Need to figure out what hook I was using...
- Mermaid tail towel, 2 skeins of yarn into this, I must be doing
something wrong because it's not THAT big yet and I only have 2 or 3
more skeins to go.
- Started working on cowls for the fall because they are mindless and
fast...but I really should totally finish them, not leave them with
tails and button-less...
Crochet Rattle - stuffed and embroidered even! Not 100% happy with the face, but not going back now!
