WIP Wednesday - I'd Like More September, Please.

Did you know that there is less than 3 months until Christmas?  And barely more than a month until Halloween?  Once October starts, it's all downhill and will really pick up speed!
Hey look, a new project!  Just what I needed!

If I can keep up a rate of 2 orders finished per week, I'll be all caught up by Thanksgiving!  Of course that's not fast enough, I need to have 5 done by this weekend... still wasting too much time sleeping!  Might be time to put Etsy on vacation for a few weeks so I can catch up!
Pile of pony ears...
No time to chat, back to work!

Current Embroidery Projects:

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! - gave up on both of them and bought another pattern, started on that...
  • Unicorn Weebee - already to the neck!
  • Dragon scarf - worked on it a bit, need to finish it up!
  • 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.
  • More crochet cowls to stock up for the fall shows!

UFO list:  

Fast finishes (hopefully)

  • Crayon Rolls - precut and ready to be sewn (18)
  • Buttons on cowls
  • Replace stripped screws on Alice in Wonderland Daryl's Drive now I need to replace the entire connector since the new one she sent is a different design, which means I need to remove some rivets....so not such a fast finish!
  • Embroidered Fox pillow cover - just needs the back cut and sewn!
  • 3 clematis clutches - Just need interfacing and sewn! 
  • Mermaid morning glory pouch (half cut out! just for fun project so no rush)
