WIP Thursday - Is It Nap Time Yet?

I still haven't fully recovered from my illness, but there's no time for sleep yet!  (Also I'm coughing so much I don't get much sleep anyway)
Preview of all the teacher gifts, they loved them! Features on them soon!
The last push for things to fill my table on Saturday at the Idea Con for the library has me realizing how much I want to make and how little time I have to finish everything...
Startled Porgs are on the machine today!
The good news is that the kids are out of school finally, so I have minions I can bribe to trim strings for me...although one has already snuck in a blanket of her own and has plans for a purse I'm going to make her, but "You can wait until after the craft show, at least a day"  Gee, thanks!
These were half finished crayon rolls from probably last fall...now they are 3/4 finished!  Almost!

  • Add Strap to Starlet clutch 
  • Sydney with Castles and Disney 
  • Pick a Pocket/Brandt's Boulevard mix wallet - Next on the cutting mat!

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.

Fast finishes (hopefully)
