WIP Friday - I Meant To Be Late

I mean, it's not late if you PLANNED it, right? :D

Glamorous mermaids are the best!

Another week is flying by, and I keep thinking that I have plenty of time to get everything done...and yet I'm not getting things finished.  I think I'll blame it on the changing season and things being in bloom, it makes my brain a little fuzzier. ;)

So close, just have the inside and strap left!

And just to add another layer of frantic to my crafting, I realized I have less than a month to my first mini show...which will also be the first time I've done it as my own business, so I need to make signs, figure out a display, get things squared away, and start stocking up...I think hooded character towels for the pool would be a good thing to stock, now to remember where I stashed my towel supply... It's just a small show for a few hours, but it sounds like they are expecting even more people this year! 

Current Projects and Orders:

• Add Strap to Starlet clutch 
• Sydney with Castles and Disney 
• LOTR strike off projects
• Ellen's Esplanade HP purse - Halfway done!
• Pick a Pocket/Brandt's Boulevard mix wallet 
• Doodles Get Carded wallet 
• Skort for a niece in Pokemon fabric
• Teacher gifts (end of year is approaching pretty fast! I think I'll have to do 3 for one kid and 1 for another one... time to find a quick pattern and go with it!)
• French Terry PJ shorts for one kid (and me)
• raglan style shirt for me with hood and fun fabric

Current Embroidery Projects:

Current Crochet Projects:

• Started a dragon scarf with one of my Black Friday sale buys...
• Cotton coffee cup cozies - add buttons and felties, keep making more...
• 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.
