WIP Thursday - End of March

I need to stop deciding to blog more, every time I do, life goes sideways and I lose an entire week! And somehow March is almost finished as well... The good news is that I am all caught up on the pattern testing that came in at once, and only have one open order! I'm still working on restocking things for the Sweet Radiance Boutique, hoping to take a trip down soon to drop off new blankets, stuffed animals, and notebooks! I might even switch out some purses on display, to keep it interesting. I'm also getting the spring cleaning urge to deep clean and organize my sewing studio, which I might actually be able to do this year since I don't have a ton of orders making me feel guilty for taking time to work on other things...

FINALLY getting the pieces glued into the tins...and I have matching finger puppets! Now to make more...

I might almost be ready to clear out my old stamping and scrapbooking supplies...I haven't touched them in YEARS and when (if?) I do finally go back to the scrapbooking for the kids, I can probably just buy new supplies... That would give me room for more fabric!
