WIP Thursday - The End is Near!

I mean the end of time to prepare for the event and the end of my list (almost)....
Trying a new way to store/display the finger puppets.  The tea box is just SLIGHTLY too small for the big ones!
This week has been a lot of cutting.  A LOT.  Finger puppets, key chains, bows, fabric...I need to get back to my hand exercises and figure out my scan and cut before my hands cramp up completely!
The banana bookmark is actually life sized!
Also finished up MORE of the teeny backpacks and started in on the next bag, a fun Speedwell!
I really love this fabric!
Next week I'll have the extras in the fangroup, but I'll be putting etsy on vacation mode soon so I can catch up on orders.  Don't worry, I will be back in June!!

Current Small Item Orders:

These are items that don't take long to finish, but since they are also handmade, I squeeze them in between the more complex items to give my brain a little break. ;)
  • triangle zip keychains 1/2- sewed up 5 of the event ones, only have 5 more cut out but they are fast and I want to use up my fun vinyl stash!
  • More mini backpacks (9/12)  -  more are being ordered all the time. I'm just going to create a random number so I can cross them off and feel like I'm finishing things...

Current Crochet Projects:

  • baby blanket with Boho style Racoon- 90% done with applique pieces, carpool project, but getting too warm out to work on blankets!
