WIP Thursday - Snowy Week

It finally feels like winter with all the snow we've been getting, plus it seems to be snowing all over the country! I don't mind the snow, especially if I have a nice book to read, a cozy blanket, and a cup of something warm to drink! Fortunately I'm (kind of) catching up, so I don't feel as bad if I find myself napping on the couch under a cozy blanket with my furry nap buddy next to me. The dog really loves it when I couch nap, he just knows when I sit on the couch and even if he's sleeping in a kid's bed, he'll come downstairs to join me!

Random vinyl and new variegated thread made for a fun notebook!

Even with the cold weather motivated naps, I'm still managing to get some stuff done and I started taking new orders (shew, almost had to start cleaning the house!). This weekend should be productive, if I can avoid the black hole of the couch!

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.
