WIP Thursday - It's Just Allergies...

Every sniffle, sneeze and cough seems to be a cause for panic, but it's also Spring, which means allergy season...gotta love the change of the seasons!  Personally, I'm looking forward to the green and flowers everywhere...and with so many stuck at home, any nice days are a great excuse to go outside.  Not me tho, I'm too busy sewing through the list!
I snagged this half yard piece of amazing giant floral fabric from Blended Threads. I don't know what it will be yet, but it will be awesome!

Maybe this will be the year I spend more time outside since orders have slowed a bit, but I always have so much on my waiting list that I won't ever run out of stuff to make! 

another bunny for the stuffing pile...need to have a good stockpile because I've heard the 10lb boxes explode when you open them and it doesn't go back in...

Current Crochet Projects:

  • The Child giant version - only needs his clothes!
  • The Child mini version - yes, I started another one, but the big one was TOO big to take with me! and the first attempt I must have been really tired because the legs and arms were totally different sizes. Second attempt is coming together better...
  • Cotton face scrub pads - I will try to get back to these, still have all the supplies!
  • baby blanket with Boho style Racoon- 90% done with applique pieces -  need to finally put this together, maybe I'll just put it in a frame!

  • 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.
  •  C2C blanket for my son, already the right width and height, finally on the end stretch!
