WIP Monday - Almost Craft Show Time!

September is flying by, and I have so much I want to finish up before the show in (less than) 3 weeks! I'd love to find a market to do in November, but I may be way too late to sign up for those since most start accepting applications in June it seems...plus I don't really like to travel (or have the time to go far) so I'm limited to local shows.  I probably should start adding a bunch of new things to my Etsy shop too... 

I plan to make a few more of these jr legal pad holders for the shows...pretty sure I prepped some and stashed them...somewhere...
I did manage to stitch up a few wing designs I've been meaning to do for the last...6 years...but now I have no small kids to model! I might have to break down and get a child sized mannequin or something. I'd also love to make some treat/tote bags in the fabrics that match some of my more popular costume pieces...guess I should stop wasting all that time sleeping!
