WIP Tuesday - Vacation (and November) Over!

Last week I took time off my day job and instead of busting through the giant list of stuff I wanted to get done, I actually took time to relax (and still got a few things done) and enjoy my vacation. There were naps, reading, catching up on shows, spending time with family, and even some fun projects.  Now it's crunch time and I have a list a mile long to finish in the next 2 weeks...There will come a point when I give up and sleep, but I haven't reached it yet! 

Last weekend's project, so many lanterns!

Every year I decide I will start earlier on the prep, but somehow that never seems to happen... maybe next year! It's a good thing that the stuff I make doesn't go 'bad', it just takes up space to store it all and I could really use that space for NEW stuff.  Every so often I dream about having an actual store that would hold all my supplies and give me more room, but then my family would never see me since I'm usually crafting until midnight.  Maybe when I retire from my day job... or I could just downsize my stash. Nah.

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.
