WIP Tuesday - Puppy Power!

I had SO MUCH to do over the weekend, so that meant that I should obviously add something else to the list, like a new puppy! 

Marshmallow Teddy has a huge grin!
We're still getting settled in and figuring it all out, most of the time our older dog is ignoring him, but they do seem to be playing a bit and starting to hang out/nap together. Now we just need to work on the marking inside the house...I'm keeping the door to my craft studio closed just in case!

Even with a new puppy, I'm getting closer to caught up on the list! If I somehow manage to get all the orders done, then I get to start on my UFO list! Or play with my fabric and make random fun stuff...

Current Projects and Orders: (in no particular order) 

  • NCW - Supernatural - Is it cursed? for the first time in all the ones I've made, it ended up WAY off centered...not even sure how I did that. Attempt #2 was much better. 
  • NCW - Supernatural
  • Doctor Who blanket
  • NCW - tattspiration (Rush order)
  • ChrisW Colour challenge Kiss Clutch
  • NCW  - Supernatural
  • Test purse - On the cutting table, a cute little bag that I need to finish ASAP!
  • Up book cover 
~~~~~ waiting for preorder fabric, payment, etc~~~~~ 
  • NCW - potions, masks, mask panel pouch
  • HP Nora Handbag
  • Dragonfly Hiraeth
  • Stranger things tote bag

 ~~~~No deadline/stuff for the kids/myself~~~~~

  • Princess Bride Speedwell Sling 
  • Minky Science blanket for my son
  • Sew Along Factotum-partially sewn
  • ITA messenger style bag

Embroidery Orders/Projects: 

  • Pony Ears (0/6) - maybe I should add some new pony stuff to the shop since these are becoming my most popular items!
  • Dobby Socks (4/4) - Time to prep a bunch so I have them on hand to ship out!
  • Embroidered pre-made tote bags (6/60) - Taking orders and also making samples for Etsy/craft shows
  • Blankets - new goal, 2/week at least. It's harder to stitch them up after work since they take 1-3 hours each and I don't have as much time in the craft studio where I can keep an eye on them.

  Craft Show Projects (and RTS items): I'll restock soon!

  • Doodle Dolls - did so many, now to make extras for pics and listing on etsy!
  • Crochet Cowls (mini button scarves) - have 2 left to finish,, time to make more!
  • Holiday geeky Stockings (3/10) - Tried the mini pattern and have some other sizes cut, need to sew more for inventory for next year
  • Lanterns (0/14) - all that are left in my stash!
  • Embroidered hand towels (6/15)
  • Crayon Rolls - Time to restock these, getting low!
  • Posh books - (precut vinyl, need to throw these on the machine when I have time
  • Key fobs (restock and stitch new styles)
  • Pocket Pals 
  • Ornaments - Finish the ones in the stash, stitch up a few new ones
  • Finger puppets - check inventory, stitch missing ones from sets, add in a new set or 4.

Current Crochet UFO's:

  • The Child giant version - he's looking for a new home, still no clothes, but I'm done with him LOL
  • 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...
  • 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.

UFO list:  

Fast finishes (hopefully)

  • Embroidered MLP tiny bag
  • Crayon Rolls 
  • Embroidered Fox pillow cover - just needs the back cut and sewn! - Need to figure out where it got stashed
  • Mermaid morning glory pouch (half cut out! just for fun project so no rush)
  • Replace connector and rivets on Alice in Wonderland Daryl's Drive

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

  • Doctor Who Pick a Pocket - Now that I've made several of these, I should be able to finish this one quickly, if I ever pull it out
  • Goldfish Lovey - fish is made, bowl is mostly made, needs put together
  • Dragon Lovey - pieces and the blanket done
  • Wisteria Wallets - 2 cut and ready to be assembled 
  • Bella II in Tula Pink Foxfield - Just needs grommets!
  • Sea turtle crochet lovey
  • Crochet Worgen 
  • Alice in Wonderland Bonnie 
  • Tulip pouches - have some cut out (pattern)
  • Crochet Giraffe photographer  
  • CL hats - have maybe 3 or 4 cut, sewing them together should be pretty fast

Want to make - list:

  • Legendary Quilt pattern pillow
  • Giant vintage star quilts - Star Wars and Princesses  
  • Tote bags using my coffee panels - India Swoon Pattern or Siren Tote?
  • pillow cases with the bolts of character fabric I stocked up on during mask season
