WIP Wednesday - Gloomy Day

It's going to be a cloudy, gloomy day here, but those are the ones I'm usually the most productive on. Or I curl on the couch with a book or movie and exist. Both sound good right about now, but I should probably try to get things done.  I'm chipping away at the order list and trying to keep on top of the Etsy orders, but I almost don't know what to do with all the free time I might have in the future! I mean, I could organize and destash my collection, or make a bunch of test bags, but I should wait and make sure I actually have free time before I start making plans...

This sloth was definitely NOT chill...my embroidery machine tried to eat it 3 times

One of the things I want to work on is using up all my blanket stash this year! I'd love to both stitch them up AND get them out to new homes, so I can reclaim a little space. I also have a bunch of towels waiting to be turned into hooded towels, but I didn't sell as many as I hoped last year, so I need to clear those out before I start on more! With the supply chain issues, I'm not sure if I should hang onto all my supplies 'just in case' or destash them so they get used...

Current Crochet Projects:

• The Child giant version - only needs his clothes!

• 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.
