WIP Thursday - February is Flying!

I'm not sure how it happened, but not only is the week flying by, but we are almost to another month! I definitely am not ready for March! My attempt at production sewing kind of worked, at least all 4 of the bags are finished finally!


Preview pic, I'll get nicer pics and share them eventually.

This was the only leather handled tote bag I had in my stash, but I definitely need to make this design on more of the regular bags!

Now I just need to kick it into higher speed to finish the rest of the order and start clearing the list again! I did start embroidering tote bags in my 'spare' time (sleep is for the weak), so I need to find more time to get some fun pics and list those up on Etsy...So many ideas, so little time!

Embroidery Orders/Projects:

  • Puppy wing set

  Craft Show Projects (and RTS items): Time to review the list for next year!

  • Lanterns (0/14) - all that are left in my stash!
  • Hooded Towels - Need to count my stash, but I didn't sell enough of them to make room to stitch up more yet.
  • Embroidered hand towels (15)
  • Crayon Rolls (0/30) - I have a giant stockpile of fabric that I need to cut into and make a ton more
  • Posh books - I need to do another batch cutting of my vinyl to have a bunch ready to ship when I can't decide what else to throw on the machine
  • Slouchy hats
  • Holiday geeky Stockings (10) - Goal is to cut and sew these over the summer so I can start listing them for sale in October/November. 
  • Key fobs (stitch new styles)
  • Pocket Pals - Lots of fun vinyl to make these and they are pretty fast - at least 10
  • Ornaments - Finish the ones in the stash
  • Finger puppets - check inventory, stitch missing ones from sets, add in a new set or 4.
  • Embroidered blankets - Still have a bunch of blank ones to sew up, need to list the non fandom ones on Etsy.

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)

  • Embroidered MLP tiny bag
