WIP Thursday - Cold snap!

The weather took a drastic cold turn this morning and now I want to crochet everything!  Time to grow that extra pair of arms so I can multitask!

Awesome pins!

I feel like my list is FINALLY getting shorter, but I'm sure I'll find more things to add soon.  Of course I'm not adding on all the Etsy orders that I'm shipping out as fast as possible...but I think I'm done with the wings this year, already made 14 compared to the 9 last year and it's getting close to my shipping cut off for Halloween!

I earned that fabric hoarder pin! This is just part of my stack for crayon rolls...

The good news is that I should be able to squeeze in my craft show prep pretty soon since I'm almost caught up...and by caught up, I mean if I can give up sleep and sew straight for the next 2 weeks, I'll be back on track.
