WIP Friday - November? Already?

We had actual fall weather earlier this week, and I realized how unprepared I am for the fall/winter! While I am making good progress on orders and random craft show filler, I still feel so far behind! I haven't even had time to do post up any of the purse finishes I had planned for this week, which are ones I finished in January (so I won't run out of blog material for a while it seems...just time to write them up!) I might need to take a month or so next year to plan out stuff a little better, prep blog posts, destash extra supplies for things I have no time for anymore, clean the house (not that I really want to, but I can't afford a housekeeper. yet.), spend time with the family, and other stuff that gets neglected while I'm focused on sewing.

Auditioning zippers to go with a fun little purse. Do I have too many options, or not enough??

But there's no time for all of that yet, so back to the sewing studio!

Current Crochet Projects:

• The Child giant version - only needs his clothes!
• The Child mini version - yes, I started another one, but the big one was TOO big to take with me! and the first attempt I must have been really tired because the legs and arms were totally different sizes. Second attempt is coming together better...
• 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.

UFO list:
