It's almost time for another birthday party around here, which usually means last minute party favor crafting. Somehow, I've managed to resist the urge - probably due to the fact that I'm surrounded by packed up boxes and piles of stuff that we need to decide where it will live... I feel like I'm neglecting this child, but we are going to be doing fun crafts at the party (rock painting and foam sticker things) so it won't be a totally craft-less party!

| Soon I'll move on to another project... |
In the mean time, between unpacking and cleaning, I'm still working on the Beast Bonnie bag. It only needs the strap! I really thought I'd be done by now...I must be wasting too much time sleeping again.

| Some of those are interfaced and cut pieces even! |

While I was unpacking I ran across my box of started and abandoned projects. That got me thinking that I really should do a challenge for UFO's and get some of them cleared out! Maybe with prizes? Hmm... I should have a purse available for a giveaway soon...or some of my giant stash fabric?
Current Projects:
- Teacher purses (school's out, but they are willing to wait -
fabrics all picked out, pattern printed and half cut out, goal is to
finish before the end of July!)
- Springs Creative projects
(2) (One left, interfacing all prepped, need to cut the fabric!)
- Swoon Sydney messenger bags for birthday presents (from April and May...)
- Beast Bonnie Bucket Bag - Changed to cross body strap, which meant recutting and sewing a new one...
Current Crochet Projects:
- WeeBee baby doll -
Tail/bikini left.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!
- Figuring out C2C (corner to corner) crochet with some random scarfie
yarn...ran out of yarn before I finished! Now to decide if I frog back
with yarn that hates being undone, or buy another skein if I can find
it...
- Started the Mermaid tail towel, hopefully will come together fast since it using a giant hook and thick yarn.
- Started working on cowls for the fall because they are mindless and
fast...but I really should totally finish them, not leave them with
tails and button-less...
Next Projects: (orders and using up fabric)
- Handkerchief Purse
- Bag of the Month - not going to make it by the end of June, but I'm going to do several of these eventually!
