WIP Monday - Countdown to Christmas

My (probably unreasonable) goal is to finish up all the paid orders this month, preferably in the next 2 weeks. Will that happen? All signs point to "no" but I can dream, right? This probably is the closest I've been to having stuff done this early in the season tho, which is only because I put a hold on new orders for the last few months to try to catch up.  I'm starting to get in the holiday mood, which means I keep thinking of new and fun stuff I want to make. Like stockings from the millions of character and Christmas fabrics I have...Ok, not MILLIONS, but pretty close.

I didn't notice it was off kilter until too late, so now I'm going to claim it's 'totally intentional'

I did get to throw a fun blanket on the embroidery machine this weekend while I was working on the next purse. I have a few more blankets waiting for designs -- I'd love to have them ALL stitched up and ready to display at the craft show, then sell them all so I can get back some space...even in space saver bags they are still taking up a good amount of space!

• Pocket Pals - Lots of fun vinyl to make these and they are pretty fast - at least 10

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:  

Fast finishes (hopefully)
