WIP Thursday - Building Back Up

Orders aren't RUSHING in, but they are definitely starting to pick up! I'm trying to stay on top of them so that I still have time to squeeze in fun projects and promo projects...like this fun new vinyl from Wizardry, Stitchery, and Crafts that is releasing tomorrow. It's a really nice vinyl and I got a scrap pack to test out. So far working great for embroidery!

The white is actually shimmery and so pretty in person!
I have so many ideas of things I want to work on, time to look into cloning myself! In the meantime I guess I just have to keep working on everything myself and stop wasting so much time sleeping and cleaning the house! 😂


Current Projects and Orders: (in no particular order) 

  • NCW - Supernatural
  • Doctor Who blanket
  • NCW - tattspiration (Rush order)

Embroidery Orders/Projects: 

  • Pony Ears (6/6) - maybe I should add some new pony stuff to the shop since these are becoming my most popular items!
  • 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
