WIP Wednesday - UFO Challenge in July!

Last week I ran across a half finished crochet cowl as I was looking for something else (didn't find it, pretty sure) and made myself finish it up before I went back to the 'fun' crochet I'm doing in my down time.  I really liked that feeling of accomplishment (even though it still needs a button...) so my plan is to work on half finished projects and do one a week for July.  Some will be from the list, some will be random things I run across as I clean....oh yeah, organizing the craft studio is also on the list for July!
Only the 'couples' lantern is unclaimed!
More teeny backpacks...
Part of my problem with the UFO's is that I find one and then instead of working on it, I keep looking for a 'better' one and spend my time doing that instead of finishing up the first one I touch. And since I can't seem to stick to one thing, this week was a bunch of little stuff, along with deciding to do a sew along for the Kiss Clutch! 
All the fun Toy Story quotes!
I might almost be ready to admit that the adult minky blankets aren't so bad, almost.  This one DID come together pretty nicely and quick! 
folded up, nice and neat
