August FLEW by, and with one day left, I'm ready to buckle down and get tons of stuff done next month! Almost time for craft shows and Halloween costumes so no time to slack off!

| New 'reading' art, maybe a fun lap quilt? |
I tested out an adorable saying from
Bows and Clothes, for the new
'reader' style pillows and tote bags I'm seeing everywhere. I'm not
sure if I want to try to turn it into a pillow with a pocket, a tote bag
with a library card pocket, or just a framed saying/quilt square. How
fun would a quilt with all the sayings be?? I need either some amazing
book fabric or a book embroidery file...more projects for the list!
I'm still working on my Fiona's Freeway for the sew along...that finished Monday...I may have over-committed...again....since I'm running it, I think that means extension! ;)
This weekend I was able to finish up and ship out several projects, plus do a little organization and realize just how much fabric I have...which means that I should destash some...or sew faster! Or maybe just accept that I'm a collector of fine fabrics. ;)

| Southwest style Clematis for the swap |
On top of that, I also did a super fast test for a new wallet released yesterday!
Current Projects:
Ellen's Esplanade - in custom knit Disney inspired fabrics - Just needs the strap and then it's ready to go - hardware arrives Friday! Sent!- C
lematis Swap - has to mail Friday but I have everything ready to go, just need a spare few minutes/hours to cut and sew! Went out Saturday and already arrived, almost on time!
- Fiona's Freeway sew along -
time to cut the fabric Need to finish this asap!
- Teacher purse - Hosta Hobo (
fabrics all picked out, patterns printed and half cut out, missed the start of school deadline!)

- Request for a 'small purse' for my youngest who has outgrown her Frozen Serendipity Hip...time to find it a new home!
Current Crochet Projects:
- 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!
- 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, 2 skeins of yarn into this, I must be doing
something wrong because it's not THAT big yet and I only have 2 or 3
more skeins to go.
- 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...
- Started a princess dress style blanket - hoping it's fast! (yes, ANOTHER project...)
 |
| Bodice and start of sleeves...using a Caron Cake for the yarn since I didn't have Cinderella Blue on hand |
