WIP Wednesday - Make ALL The Things!!

It's getting down to the wire for finishing stuff for the craft shows...and even though I felt like I was super productive last weekend, it probably wasn't enough.  I have a million more things I want to finish (Not starting anything new at this point...unless it's something really quick and adorable...NO, don't give in to temptation!) and probably not enough time to do even half of them if I did give up sleep...

One of the cute things I will be soon sewing up for an order, I wish I had more of these!

One of the many fabrics I had plans to use for 'stuff'

Crayon rolls are always a good seller, and a great way to use up my character fabrics, but they aren't the most exciting thing to sew.  My goal was to do 50, which was an insane goal that meant I was cutting like crazy.  I did get 48 cut out, and almost half of them totally finished...almost.  I could probably get another 10 done before Friday, if I focus (squirrel!). 

Part of my production line...those are all done now at least!

Crochet cowls stacked up and patiently waiting for buttons.

Did I mention there is also a global blog tour for ChrisW Designs patterns coming next week?  And there will be giveaways?  Be sure to stop in on Monday and check out what I made for it, plus enter to win some AWESOME prizes!  I'll have patterns to give away and there will be other great giveaways on the rest of the tour!

Sneak peek for the blog tour!

Ok, back to the minor panic of trying to fit 1000 hours of finishing work into 2 evenings....

Toddler sized hat that sparkles!

Current Projects:

• DONE Funny Faces Brandt's Boulevard Order
• Hobbit Bibs
• crayon rolls - 20 finished, 28 left
• Elephant Brandt's Boulevard

Current Embroidery Projects:

• Finger Puppets - Need to restock and try some of my new ones! Star Wars and Turtles done, need to add in some of the new characters, if I can get my machine to stop breaking thread and trying to eat it...
• Stitch some of the new bows:  Cheer sized Jack, Sally, and Oogie; Ocean and other inspired bows Probably not going to happen at this point...
• More embroidered peeker towels Going to call it finished on this, unless they sell really well this weekend and I need to make more (and put together the finished hoods)
• Ornaments - Cut out Doctor Who ones, add ribbon
• restock key chains - maybe try some of my new ones or just add more Star Wars inspired ones...and Doctor Who...
• Kitchen towels with Christmas sayings I knew I forgot something...wonder how many towels I can do tonight?

Current Crochet Projects:

• Cotton coffee cup cozies - weave in ends, add buttons and felties, keep making more...
• Weave in ends on hats and cowls, add buttons.
• 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...
• Started a princess dress style blanket - Need to just add a border on the sides and it's done!  Even have pieces already attached :O
