WIP Thursday - Time to Try to Catch Up

I just have a few more orders to get through before I'm back on track, but that means I can totally take some time off to work on fun projects, right? I signed up for a 3 day craft show in December, so I need to start working on more inventory.  I still have a stockpile of lanterns to add fabric to, hooded towels to finish, mountains of felt and vinyl to turn into finger puppets, bookmarks, and keychains...plus half finished UFO purses I uncovered in my organization sprees.  I'm planning on taking a week off from the day job, so I'll either get a TON of stuff done, or I'll just chill and do stuff with the kids.  Either way, it's going to help me de-stress! 

Bookmarks from the awesome vinyl on preorder now at Moon Beam Textiles!

Maybe I'll take some time and go through the list for the older projects, they either need to be cut or bumped up. I don't know what it would be like to have all my UFO's done/disappeared, but I'd love to find out! I'd also love to see more floor in my sewing studio, if I can clear out some tubs and boxes of supplies and projects...I think there's even a chair hidden in there, under a tower of minky and custom fabric. So many plans, so little time!

Current Crochet Projects:

• The Child giant version - only needs his clothes!

• 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.

• Mermaid tail towel, need to dig this back out.
