WIP Monday - Welp, There Goes August

And another month speeds by!  I'm definitely not ready for it to be September, but at least I'm starting to feel like I have things slightly more under control.  Ok, not really, but I can pretend!

Hmm, should I add in the 'watching blankets' to my lineup this year?
The cool weather is just around the corner (I hope!) and I'm getting an itch to start crocheting a bunch of warm hats and blankets...too bad I haven't had any time to actually sit down with my yarn!  Maybe I need to add in a night of relaxing to my schedule, so I can put my feet up and crochet (aka fall asleep on the couch holding yarn and a hook)...I have so much pretty yarn in my collection that it's escaping the craft studio and trying to take over the rest of the house!

I've made so many of these that they don't even get their own post anymore...

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!
  • Dragon scarf - worked on it a bit, need to finish it up!
  • 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 - just needs ends woven in!
