WIP Wednesday - Chilly Willisters!

Ok, not technically a saying, but I tell my kids that it's "Chilly Willisters" out when it gets cold.  Today there was even snow falling!  :O

The most plush blanket...both sides are soft so it just needs satin binding on the edge! or I'll use it like this!

The upside to this cold snap is that I want to be crocheting all the warm things, or snuggled under cozy blankets.  The downside is that I have too much sewing to catch up on to take a break and crochet, and all my cozy blankets are still waiting to be sewn together...and of course this is the week that the elementary school picked for the fall festival, plus a million other meetings after school for the high school...

Wash away double stick tape is the BEST for zippers...but only do one zipper at a time because it's not super sticky...

Cutting into this panel with only a vague idea of what I was doing was a little stressful!

Once I make it past the next 2 weeks, I should have a full 3 hours to catch my breath before I need to dive into craft show prep...as long as I don't get sick any time soon!

Hmm, not exactly right, probably a sign I should stop for the night!
