WIP Thursday - June? Already?

We're almost halfway through the year, and I STILL haven't organized my craft studio, which was a goal for January...Maybe this month I'll do a little more, but give all the orders I'm getting for inhaler and sanitizer cases, masks, and even fun purses, I'm not holding my breath that I'll have time.
Teeny backpacks always turn out super cute!
I'm pretty busy with orders, but I did manage to sneak in a fun pattern testing last weekend! I limited the orders so I could find time for fun projects, but then I went and added in masks... someday I might have time to play with my fabrics and have lots of ready to ship items, which I really need to start thinking about for the fall craft shows in case they aren't cancelled!
Sneak peek of the pattern test bag, the hardware from Wizardry, Stitchery, and Crafts was PERFECT!!
At least this week I had a lot to cross off the list, but then I went and added more, so it really didn't shrink the list...gotta keep the productivity up, maybe I'll actually be caught up someday!

Current Crochet Projects:

  • The Child giant version - only needs his clothes!
  • The Child mini version - yes, I started another one, but the big one was TOO big to take with me! and the first attempt I must have been really tired because the legs and arms were totally different sizes. Second attempt is coming together better...
  • Cotton face scrub pads - I will try to get back to these, still have all the supplies!
  • baby blanket with Boho style Racoon- 90% done with applique pieces -  need to finally put this together, maybe I'll just put it in a frame!
  • Dragon scarf - worked on it a bit, need to finish it up!
  • Cotton coffee cup cozies - add buttons and felties, keep making more...
  • WeeBee baby doll  - Just needs some face details, and maybe a swimsuit to wear when she's not in her tail...bikini sort of works...made up my own pattern and it's interesting...
  • 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 and height, finally on the end stretch!
