WIP Thursday - September Is Here!

I am really not prepared for it to be already September, there's SO MUCH I should have finished already and I haven't even gotten started...my goal of doing 2 blankets a week has definitely not been met...I don't think I even did 2 blankets every month. At this rate I'll never use up my collection, especially since I can't stop buying more when I see a really cute one! 

Perfect Fall blankets, really need to stitch up the ones I have left!

I'm planning on a VERY productive long weekend, if I can resist the books! Or maybe just ONE day of reading...that will last until 4 am. After that, ONLY sewing! Better get back to it and stop procrastinating!
