WIP Thursday - So This Is March

 I realize that February is a short month, but I'm pretty sure I blinked once and it was over! I'm not swamped with orders right now (just pleasantly busy), so I've been trying to work on random fun stuff in between. I would say it is to use up my supplies, but as anyone that has seen my craft studio can attest, there is NO WAY I'll ever use up my supplies...at this point I'd just like to clear a pathway since my tubs of fabric are multiplying again...

These are my new obsession...
One of the new projects I'm working on are shoe wings! These are so fun and I have a bunch of new patterns to try out. I'll eventually list some on etsy, because how fun would these be with my pony ears?? I just need to figure out the best vinyl for each one and then I can go from there. If I make enough, I might actually use up my grommet supply (I only have about 100 I think, maybe I need to order more!)

Embroidery Orders/Projects: 

  • Embroidered pre-made tote bags (0/15) - 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!

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.
