WIP Wednesday - Autumn is Coming!

I already found pumpkin spice cereal at Target last week, so Fall is just around the corner!
Next purse focal piece, love Tiki style Stitch!
I feel like I don't have a lot of orders right now, but that's no reason to keep procrastinating!  The next 2 orders are both the same style, so at least I can get the interfacing all cut out and ready to go in one fell swoop, and even cut out an extra set so I'm prepared to make more!  Annette is a really fun purse and the one I'm currently carrying, so I'm glad to have a chance to make more!  If I can just stay focused, I could be entirely caught up on all my orders in just a week or 2...IF.
Martini fabric for a fun lining...the purse is a little down the list but should turn out awesome!

These panels are going to become tote/trick or treat bags, if I have time!
I really need to start cutting out my stockpile of bows, key chains and finger puppets...and stitch out new styles!  If there were only about 20 more hours to my week, that would be perfect!  Of course I might end up using those hours for sleep, but totally worth it!  I submitted entries for the usual 2 craft shows this fall, but I should probably branch out and do at least one more...
Waiting for their snaps!


Current Projects and Orders:

  • Quick zipper pouch for my son, school starts on Monday so it jumps the line!  I tried to talk him into the $0.98 ones, but he wants a Mom made one in "cool" fabrics.  :)

Before I frogged about 5 rows because I somehow added in about 12 extra stitches...

Current Crochet Projects:

  • Started a hat pattern for a fun textured beanie...ended up kid sized when I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be adult, so I haven't finished it yet.

  • 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.

Fast finishes (hopefully)
