Supernatural Purse of DOOM

Sometimes I take on a project that I think will be 'simple' and then I come to regret saying yes. Fortunately this one redeemed itself and by the end I did love it, but the middle section was a bit rough...and it did earn the name of the Purse of DOOM, which stuck since I made up the pattern and get to name it whatever I want.
I would drink this whiskey...

WIP Friday - Not Back On Track...

But at least I can finally see the track!  I'm working on getting caught up on all the little orders this week, ended up needing 28 embroidered inhaler and sanitizer cases, but since I have to do 2 at a time on the same vinyl backing, I will end up making more than that.  Great for ready-to-sell stock, but takes me a bit longer...and they keep getting claimed so I don't seem to be getting much of a stockpile actually.
How many sanitizer cases are too many? Asking for a friend...

Winged Things Atlas Rucksack (Swoon) - MoonBeam Textiles

This month's fabric preorder from Moon Beam Textiles is a gorgeous, non inspired style!  The colors are soothing, and the print is super fun!  I really wanted to show off the awesome stripes and toss, so I went with a pattern I'd never tried before, the Atlas Rucksack from Swoon (affiliated link).
This bag is not very photogenic, but so pretty in person!

WIP Thursday - Faster Than a Speeding Month

I blinked and June is already more than half over...Not ready for that!!  If anyone finds some free time just laying around, send it my way. ;)
The mice got messed up on the back, so now I have a sanitizer holder for ME!!

Marauder's Map Bonnie Bucket Bag (Swoon)

It's been quite a while since the last time I made a Bonnie Bucket Bag by Swoon (affiliate link), but it's a classic style that comes together pretty quickly!
I solemnly swear I'm up to no good, but everyone already knew that...

WIP Thursday - Squirrel!

I am a lover of lists, and somehow even making a million lists isn't keeping me on track lately.  I think I may have TOO MANY lists? Is that a thing? I have my planner, my email folders with orders, a white board for orders, and now I have a few different notepads with lists of masks, inhalers, and sanitizer cases... plus the printed out order invoices.  And I still feel like I'm forgetting stuff...
Fun new strike fabric! can't wait to share the whole thing!

King of Pop Annette (Swoon)

This purse has been on the list probably the longest, so it's a good thing my sister-in-law is patient!  It was a gift I promised her several birthdays ago, and just never found the perfect fabric.  Then when I finally did, I was so swamped with orders that it got pushed down on the priorities. Good news, it was worth the wait! (at least I hope so!)
So many different costumes and poses!

WIP Thursday - June? Already?

We're almost halfway through the year, and I STILL haven't organized my craft studio, which was a goal for January...Maybe this month I'll do a little more, but give all the orders I'm getting for inhaler and sanitizer cases, masks, and even fun purses, I'm not holding my breath that I'll have time.
Teeny backpacks always turn out super cute!

Pretty Mermaid Allure (ChrisW Designs)

The first time I made the Allure from ChrisW Designs was when I was testing the pattern, and even though it came together pretty nicely, there are always a few tweaks and changes that result from the testing.  If I make a pattern often enough, I usually start to make my own changes and mental notes, but it's been a while so this was like a fresh new pattern!
Staring into your soul...
