WIP Whatever Day It Is - Disaster Area

When I started organizing, I knew that it would get worse before it got better, but somehow I didn't expect it to make the un-organized area look so much worse without even touching it... now I really want to just put everything on hold and finish the entire room, but orders are piling up! I'm waiting until I'm done to share more pics, I need the pretty finished ones to offset the disaster area!
Finally picked fabric for the pattern testing, now just need to finish it!
I'm trying to do everything at once, so of course something had to slip!  No update for last week on stuff, but things did get done!!
Awesome heart zipper tape from Wizardry, Stitchery, and Crafts!
Sometimes when I'm working on trying to get the good pics, my dog decides he needs to supervise.  He kept sneaking closer...At least he just got groomed, so he's fancy for the pics!
Mr. Rocket and the teeny backpack
I just have the one large order to finish from last year (Not counting preorder stuff I'm still waiting for the fabric to arrive), and then I'll be able to start the January orders!  I might even stay in my 4-6 week turnaround time for at least the first months of the year!

  • 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! - This got stashed somewhere, so I need to remember where the 'safe place' is.
  • 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, need to dig this back out.
  •  C2C blanket for my son, already the right width, now to get it long enough for a child that I expect will be taller than me! - It's slowly growing, haven't had as much time to sit and watch tv since I didn't get totally caught up on my orders!
