WIP Sunday - Snow Delay

I'm going to blame this being late on the cold weather. It seems like a valid excuse to me...if the kids can get 2 hour delays for school, I should be able to get delays for posting, right?
Small patches, custom colors are available on request!
I think I can blame the weather for my lack of productivity this week as well; I get sinus pressure whenever it swings from hot to cold (to hot to cold to...) so that's a valid excuse...I just finished up the last order for 2019 (that I can do, waiting on fabric for anything left) and I'm only at 5 weeks for the January orders! That's pretty speedy for me!
fun fabric keeps showing up at my door looking for a good home!
Time to get back to sewing! I'd love to bust out a few more orders before the weekend escapes! If I actually have all my orders caught up for once, I could theoretically even play around with my fabric and try new patterns to add to my library, plus finish up a few UFO's and maybe even work on organizing more!  Or catch up on sleep!  I don't know what I'm more excited to try to do LOL!
