WIP Wednesday - The Best Laid Plans of Mice

I had great plans to bust out orders this weekend, but somehow it flew by! Then I kind of lost track of what day it was (I thought yesterday was Wednesday for about half the morning), and now I'm trying to figure out where I was and what I need to do still and how much coffee I can drink and still sleep at night...spoiler alert, it's a lot of coffee and very little sleep.
I'd like to do this.  But my dancing scares everyone away, not just the cares.
Zippered vinyl pouch, need to make a ton and use my printed vinyl stash!
The good news is that next Monday is a holiday, but my kids still have school so no sleeping in and wasting the day for me! I'm hoping to get all the January orders finished (except the ones waiting for preorder fabric) and mailed by Tuesday, and make a good dent in the ones for February!  We'll see if that actually happens...
More adorable Harry Potter!

My kids have claimed several of these fabrics, so I need to see what is left over before I offer them for orders!
I did have a finish this week, but it's for a mystery box so I can't share it until after they are sent out!  I really need to get several projects finished so I have a stockpile of finished things to share on the weeks when I'm either moving slow or working on more complex orders.  I have been getting in lots of pretty fabrics, so it's time to either destash (but it ALL brings me joy!) or organize my stash better.  Or start using it to decorate the walls in our house...I could totally put some of the panels on canvas frames and call it art!
Probably the prettiest Star Trek I've ever seen!
