WIP Wednesday - Rush, Rush, Nap, Rush

April is off to a good start, lots of things getting finished, and fun fabrics showing up at my door (I can't turn them away, they look so lonely!) I'm trying to get through as many orders as I can before I get the second vaccine in case it knocks me off my feet...I definitely don't touch orders when I'm sick, but I don't want to get too far behind.

One of my many projects, stitching out the awesome designs I'm collecting from String Theory Fabric Art - just need to order some fun frames!

Trying to get everything done means that I'm shuffling around some of the orders, and not rushing to take new orders in, but I'm still reserving the spots for everyone in line! I'd love to squeeze in some more fun random sewing as well, I have SO MUCH fabric that is waiting for me to play with it! I'm even contemplating making a bunch of pillowcases with the bolts of character fabric that I still have left from the mask fabric buying frenzy...or I could just destash it...

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!
  • 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.
