WIP Friday - Mighty Mask Making Time!

Mask orders had slowed down for the most part, so I decide it was time to catch up on the few orders I did have...and then I shared some epic Plague Doctor fabric I snagged and now I have a bunch more orders!  My 'one night' of masks ended up increasing to several nights' worth of work...

So much fun nerdy goodness!

I need to find some new ideas to use up my fabric faster, not because I really want to use it up, but because I'm running out of room to stash it all!  My shelves are full and my piles are threatening to bury me alive! I constantly struggle between "I need to hoard this beautiful fabric forever!" and "I need more space and I'll never actually use that fabric" with a random "Ugh, I don't like this fabric anymore, no wait, it's beautiful" thoughts popping in.  It really doesn't help that I keep finding more awesome fabric that I want to collect! At least I've been able to reign in my yarn buying, but I still have more yarn in my stash than I could probably use in the next 20 years...unless I grow a second pair of arms.  Hmm...time to become a mutant....
