WIP Wednesday - The Eye of the Storm

I survived last week, where I was trying to get orders out on a deadline, prep for the craft show, do Halloween stuff and anything else people tossed at me.  I feel like I needed a bit of a breather, so I've been slowly working on the next 4 orders this week...although I really want to get them out!

Ready to be features on a hobo style bag!

Another stuffed llama!

Hopefully I can get ALL the orders finished in the next 2 weeks, then I can focus on stuff for the final craft show on December 1!  Make sure you've joined my FaceBook group if you want to have a chance to snag some ready to ship stuff the first week or 2 of December!  I'll be putting Etsy on vacation probably December 10 until the end of the year so I don't have to stress about those orders arriving before Christmas!  I'll start taking new purse orders in January too!

The customer has been patiently waiting for this fabric to arrive!  My longest open purse order!

I need to open up preorders again, I'm starting to be buried under all the pretty new fabric that is finally coming in!

Vintage-look Mulan is very pretty!

This one is more faded looking, for a very soft overall feel - would be gorgeous on a clutch or even as a pillowcase dress!

Vibrant unicorn/Pegasus is so adorable! She needs to become a few beanies and purses with awesome sparkle vinyl!
