WIP Wednesday - Procraftination, My Old Friend

I'm actually fully booked for project for this month, but that doesn't seem to stop me from trying to take on more!  I am trying to do better at giving myself time to finish orders and stay within deadlines, but then fun things come up and say "Make ME!" and my procraftination comes out full force!  The keychains are still so much fun to make, but now I need to get back to my other orders!

I never get tired of looking at this fabric!

One of the projects to jump the line is a pattern test, which should be coming out soon, and is AWESOME!  I can't show anything, except the fun fabrics I picked to use on it!

Deadpool is sure you're going to love the new pattern. Or else.

Then there is the project I'm actually working on for an order, a Brandt's Boulevard, so I decided "Hey, let's do a flash sew along!"  So feel free to join me starting tomorrow as I make one!  The Facebook Event is HERE, and join the ChrisW Designs fan group HERE! There will be prizes!! Amanda is even going to be doing some live videos here and there!

You know you want to join in the fun!

I hope you can join in the fun, and maybe even motivate me to stay on task! (I need to focussss...hey, is that a new pattern?)
