WIP Wednesday - October (Cue Evil Laughter)

Mwahahahaha!  Although for me, the evil laughter has a slight tinge of panic in it.  My youngest is the only one that still gets/wants to wear a costume to school, and she hasn't decided what she wants to be yet...granted my usual costume plan involves them picking a costume in September, changing their mind 7 times, then settling on an obscure one in early October so that I can order supplies and procrastinate until the weekend before Halloween and then forgo sleep in an attempt to finish it. 

Large Hosta Hobo in progress

Trying new display options, almost looks professional!

To add a little more pressure, I also have a mini craft show coming up on November 1st...I think it's almost time to put the etsy shop on a little vacation for a few weeks so I can get caught up!

This gorgeous fabric just showed up, I need to figure out what it wants to become!

Anyone else already in holiday panic mode? If not, can I steal some of your calm?
