WIP Wednesday - Naps Sound Amazing

For some reason, the later I stay up, the more tired I get.  It's like sleep is required or something.  I wish I was one of the people that can take a 10-15 minute nap and wake up refreshed, but if I ever do nap, it's at least 3 hours and I'm groggy for several hours after that...

Dread Pirate Roberts will be on my next purse!  He's MINE!

You might have seen some of my recent etsy purchases on Instagram, but in case you didn't, these Porg pins are my new obsession...

I'm trying to decide how to display them because they are too cute!!

I'm slowly getting caught up on my orders, and haven't taken on a ton more so I have a chance next month to actually do some 'just because' sewing and use up my stash!  Maybe I'll even work on organizing my fabrics and finally destashing the ones I'm no longer loving.   That might be a Herculean task...can I hire Hercules?
