WIP Friday - Organization Galore

I finally stole some time to get organized, and it was very overdue!  I was spending hours looking for fabric for requests, so this will save me time in the long run, besides making me happier every time I walk into my studio!

Probably not even half my fabric...the opposite walls have more shelves along them.

Now that I can almost get to my vinyl stash easily (just 6 tubs in the way, instead of  6 tubs and 2 mountains of fabric waiting to avalanche), I decided to throw in a little more chaos to the mix! The Sweet n Sassy group is running a 31 in 31 challenge, stitching up 31 of their designs in the month of July, and you have to do at least 1 a day! Good news is that this will help me burn through my towel stash and be prepared just in case there are fall craft shows! Will I make all 31? Probably not, but any I do finish are better than what I started with! Better go start day 3 on the embroidery machine before I get distracted again!

Day 1!

Current Crochet Projects:

• The Child giant version - only needs his clothes!

• 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!

• 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 - just needs ends woven in!
