WIP Monday - And Now It's (mid)April.

I'm still looking for a 'pause' button for my life, just so I have a chance to try to catch up on everything...or maybe someone selling some free time because I can ALWAYS use more of that! Between the day job, the crafting, school stuff for the kids, and everything else that seems to require my attention RIGHT NOW, something needed to get pushed to lower priority. Unfortunately that's the blog for now, but I'm not totally giving it up! I just need to sit down and dedicate a few hours to writing ahead on the posts so I can schedule them better...

Almost finished!

Maybe someday I'll do everything I have planned...but that might take until I'm 100. At least forgetting to update the list for a few weeks means that it looks like I've been super productive!

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

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.
