WIP Wednesday - Crunch Time

It's the final countdown to the craft show! I have tonight, tomorrow night, and Friday during the day to get a million things finished for the show!  Plenty of time!

Panel I got in my mystery pack, about how I feel now...

Next round from MoonBeam is going to be so awesome!

I'm trying to get everything finished up that is in progress, then if I have time I'll add in a few more quick things, but I'm not thinking I'll have time...plus I'm still working on the last 3 sewing orders and a strike off project!  Then next week will be all the embroidery orders and finally a break!

Crayon rolls, waiting patiently

My craft studio NEEDS a good cleaning and organizing, but I don't think the 2 1/2 weeks I have planned with no orders is going to be enough time...especially with Christmas and work thrown in there...but hopefully I can at least get a few areas organized and some of my fabric re-sorted and put away!  I might even finally destash some of the ones I don't love as much!  Maybe even add some shelves to a closet to provide better organization there too...

Line of towels, but wait, there's more!

At least I haven't hit the 'whatever, I give up' stage yet!  That will probably be Friday night around midnight, if I make it that late.
