WIP Wednesday - The Light At the End of the Tunnel...

...Is probably attached to a train.  I'm plowing through my list, but somehow it doesn't seem to get any smaller....

Necessary Clutch Wallet in progress

My goal of finishing 4 purses/wallets last weekend didn't happen...mainly due to house repairs and yard work taking much more of my time and energy than I expected.  I also really need to organize my fabric, but I have no place to organize it to...time for more tubs at least so my piles are a little more contained and less likely to avalanche.  ;)

Before I finish trimming the ears I have to pull out the extra stabilizer to make the edges nicer.  I usually end up covered in bits of paper

 

I'm about at the point I need to put the etsy shop on vacation so I can catch up!  And coffee has become more of a requirement than a treat...but this panel will have to wait until I have time to sew for me again.

I think every few hour is still periodically...

Current Projects and Orders:

• Floral Wars Annette Purse - Done and mailed!
• Sydney with Castles and Disney (For a local friend who told me 'when you have time' but I told her that would be never, so leaving it on the list and bumping it near the top)

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, put on hold until I can figure out what I want to do with it.  Started another one with the right yarn and looking better! - gave up on both of them and bought another pattern, started on that...

• Dragon scarf - worked on it a bit, need to finish it up!
• Cotton coffee cup cozies - add buttons and felties, keep making more...

• 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.

UFO list:  

Fast finishes (hopefully)

• Crayon Rolls - precut and ready to be sewn (18)
