WIP Wednesday - Another Month Flies By

Didn't August just start? Actually, I'm pretty sure it was June last week...

Patronus fabric and Doctor Who??  So pretty and I'm going to be ordering MORE because this needs to be in my stash!

This week I have been playing with my new Moon Beam Textiles strike off, the new round opens on Saturday so I need to get everything sewn up!  It's going to be some epic fabric so I really need to sew faster and make room for more!

Gravity falls fabric! My kids have claimed most of it for undecided projects...hoping to get at least one bag out of it to sell!

I'm starting to get overwhelmed by my piles of projects and supplies, so I need to take some time this weekend to clean up a bit and see what I can destash or donate...I wonder if there are any local charities looking for flannel donations?  I need an assistant just to find out random information for me.  I can pay in fabric...

Fancy Porg.  Who doesn't need this in their life?

I think the 'long' weekend (which will fly by) is my motivation to clean and organize at least a section of my craft studio.  If I can find more than 2/3 of my cutting table, I'll call it a win!

• Sew Along Factotum- cut and fused, now to start sewing and do the foam...

Current Crochet Projects:

• Started a hat pattern for a fun textured beanie...ended up kid sized when I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be adult, put on hold until I can figure out what I want to do with it.  Started another one with the right yarn and looking better!

• 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.
