WIP Wednesday - December Is Coming!

Aaaaiiieeee!  In case you weren't paying attention, there are only 26 more days until Christmas.  Is anyone ready?  I'm definitely not!

Hat for myself, still need to attach the button to the center of the flower

The embroidery machine is running full tilt, getting a few last minute orders out, like Santa Cams and Sorting hats...is anyone actually surprised that I had Harry Potter themed ribbon in my stash, er, collection? ;)

Finished one will go up on Instagram, @tiger_in_a_tornado if you are interested...
Orders are getting done, I only have a few weeks left if I want to get them shipped by Christmas!  This week I have to get a purse and wallet done, plus ship out the other things I've finished...too bad the post office doesn't keep Tiger hours!  I did find my scale finally (right where I put it for safe keeping so I could find it when we moved...) so technically I can weigh and ship packages, but the ladies at the post office are always curious about what I made lately and like seeing pictures (when there isn't a line...)
Super Jack Sydney purse in progress!
 Ok, back into the fray!  These pieces aren't going to cut themselves!

  • C2C (corner to corner) baby doll blanket crochet with some random scarfie yarn - Need to figure out what hook I was using...
