WIP Wednesday - Doing Stuff and Things

While every day is sort of blending into the next and half the time I keep checking my calendar to see what day it is, I am actually getting things marked off the list!

 

Foolish Mortals is a fun fabric and I'm using every scrap I can!

I haven't taken in as many orders lately, mostly because I'm so busy that I haven't been following up on everything, but it's giving me time to catch my breath and not feel totally swamped...  I feel a little concerned that my order list isn't insanely long, but on the off chance that I ever run out of orders, I have TONS of patterns and fabric to play with and make ready to ship stuff! Or, I could actually work on finishing the organization of the sewing studio, or decorating my house finally...nah, sewing is still more fun. ;)

Sometimes I even get to embroider!

Current Crochet Projects:

• The Child giant version - only needs his clothes!

• 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!
