WIP Thursday - All the Coffee Please

I'm at the point where I know nothing I finish now will get to anyone by Christmas, so I'm just trying to get as much done as I can in hopes I can start the new year with a manageable order list...my vacation starts tomorrow from the day job, so I'm hoping I can take advantage of the extra time in my day to catch up on housework (dust bunnies are now part of the family, they've been around for that long), tame the disaster that is the craft studio (craftermath?), and figure out what I need to destash/donate from my older supplies. I probably have enough yarn in my stash to yarn bomb a small office building...or a large one.

Need to list this one up for sale, I don't NEED more blankets!

A lot of the things I'll be working on for the rest of the year are bigger, more complex orders, so I barely have anything to mark off the list! I'm also getting easily distracted (embroidered blankets?) by the quick projects, and attacked by falling supplies at least once a night, so definitely need to do some organizing and cleaning.

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!

  • 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.

UFO list:  

Fast finishes (hopefully)

  • Embroidered Fox pillow cover - just needs the back cut and sewn! - Need to figure out where it got stashed

  • Replace connector and rivets on Alice in Wonderland Daryl's Drive

 Ready to go, but will take a bit more effort projects:

  • Downsized Denver backpack - mostly cut out, just need to figure out the straps, but may go with connectors for now to try it out
