WIP Thursday - Need More Free Time!

I can't even express how amazed and grateful I am for all the customers wanting to place orders and willing to wait for me to get to them, but every so often I just have an urge to sew up something random! Unfortunately I usually resist the urges, mainly because I'm already behind on orders...but someday I might be caught up enough to sneak in more fun sewing projects! In the meantime, I keep throwing random stuff on the embroidery machine to make myself feel extra productive...

Time to start the bookmark stash building! And PORGS!

At least orders are good for keeping me on track-- I remember before I started selling that I would take MONTHS to finish one sewing project and now if I take a whole week I feel like I'm totally slacking...but I also don't have tiny minions completely dependent on me for survival and wanting to sit on my lap and help me sew. Now my minions are old enough that they can forage for themselves (but still prefer not to). They're even old enough to recruit for some tasks...if I can drag them away from their computers!

• 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.
