WIP Wednesday - July!!! UFO Challenge

It's official, the year is more than halfway over!  Time to get MORE things done!
UFO #1 - doing something with random embroidery
My UFO for this week is going to be the stack of embroidery that I made because I could.  I originally wanted to eventually turn them into purses or something, but the 'or something' is going to be art to hang up!  I'm going to staple them to the canvases I bought a few (or more than a few, shhh) months ago, which should take me maybe half an hour.  They will be available in the facebook group for purchase when I finally finish!
More Teeny Backpacks...just picked up a stack of ribbons for the straps and have 50 more clips so tons more in the future!
I really haven't gotten much finished yet this week because my body decided that it must be time for another sinus infection, but a sneaky one that just sucked my energy and was disguised as allergies...I'm finally on medicine so hopefully I'll have more energy again soon and will be back to my insanity!  There was a few days in the last week where I didn't even touch fabric!! (I must have been sick!)

Current Small Item Orders:

Current Crochet Projects:

  • Dragon scarf - worked on it a bit, need to finish it up!
  • Cotton coffee cup cozies - add buttons and felties, keep making more...

  • Chunky Unicorn Blanket - almost finished up to the hood, then just ears, horn, and fringe! - This got stashed somewhere, so I need to remember where the 'safe place' is.
