WIP Wednesday - Stuff Is Getting Done

Well, somewhat done...or at least worked on!  I'm frantically trying to catch up from last week, and prepare for next weekend, while still recovering.  Fortunately a lot of the stuff I'm doing is 'fast' so I might be ok.
Going to be a panel on a purse for an awesome teacher!
The minions have a week left of school, so that means I have a week left to make teacher gifts...I think we're going simple this time, just a few Boon Wallets for the 3 teachers one kid has, and a Sandra Saddle bag for the one teacher of another child.  Sorry high school teachers, I don't have time to make anything for all of you...and that child is old enough she can help out if she really wants teacher gifts!
Too much raspberry?  NEVER!
While I was rushing around trying to finish up some last minute projects, of course I had to add more to my plate, and even cut out an extra pouch, or at least the flap and outside.  I love this mermaid fabric, and can't wait to have time to finish this!
Mermaids are my Jam.
I also got in some awesome fabric, I think I want cupcakes like this for my birthday, which is fast approaching!  I wonder what flavor they would be...
Cupcakes are also my Jam.  And delicious.
