WIP Thursday - STILL (almost) on target for UFO July!

I'm not going to set a HUGE goal for this next week's UFO, my youngest had her birthday this week, and that means this Saturday is going to be her party with anywhere from 9 to 25 people...and since it's going to be at our house, that means extra cleaning!  I almost have the UFO for last week finished, just needs the final piece of the closure and the sides sewn!
Strike sewing for Moonbeam Textiles current round!  Awesome fabric!
 My organizing goal led to a slightly more organized studio, and finding tons of cool fabric!
Organizing my thread drawers somehow expanded to 3 more shelves...
UFO is so close to finished!
But when you add on another kid getting all 4 wisdom teeth removed, and that adds up to a lot of 'Mom' time this week and not a lot of sewing!  I did get prep work done at least! 
Fussy cutting only hurts a little...hopefully I can still use the scrap pieces for other projects!
Once I finish the next few orders, my UFO goal for the next week is to finally finish up the Toothless Professional Pouch.  I was hoping to take some time next week to do some selfish birthday sewing, but it's not looking like that will happen, so I might try to get in more organizing at least!
Doesn't everyone have Supernatural snaps?
