WIP Monday - I'm Still Alive

...Barely!  I have been slacking on the updates, so you get a Monday one!  I finished up all the craft shows finally and now can focus on orders, a ready to ship sale, and maybe even cleaning and decorating my house!

Adorable ornament I added to the lineup, might have a few extra later this week!

As long as I don't give in to that annoying sleep, I will have everything done in time to ship without paying for upgrades.  Hopefully. 

I love quick orders like these custom fabric crayon rolls!

I will be putting Etsy on vacation, probably this week, until after Christmas, and might even get in a little fun sewing with my stash, or finally organizing my craft studio from the aftermath of the holiday prep tornado...but that will take much longer than the few days of vacation I am taking...so maybe I'll work on at least clearing a walkway...small goals.

Current Crochet Projects:

• Baby Yoda - picked up a pattern last week, started it but using blanket yarn so it's HUGE!
• Cotton face scrub pads - focusing on the Unicorn for now, but I will try to get back to these!

• Cotton coffee cup cozies - add buttons and felties, keep making more...
• WeeBee baby doll  - Just needs some face details, and maybe a swimsuit to wear when she's not in her tail...bikini sort of works...made up my own pattern and it's interesting...
• 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.
• C2C (corner to corner) baby doll blanket crochet with some random scarfie yarn - Need to figure out what hook I was using...
• Mermaid tail towel, need to dig this back out.
• More crochet cowls to stock up for the fall shows!
