WIP Monday - (More Than) Halfway through June

I recently added a few new things to my schedule for the kids, so I now have even LESS time to sew than usual! Somehow I'm still making my way through the list, but I need to make sure I stay focused when I am able to squeeze in time to sew! The good news is that I'm using my time away from home to work on my yarn stash, so I'll have more mini scarves (cowls) ready to go for the fall!  Maybe if I work through my chunky yarn stash I'll start working on either amigurumi or hats...both use the smaller yarn, but I need patterns that I can easily pick up and set down.

Chunky yarn works up so fast!

Right, like I could use up all my yarn in just a year...I keep finding more every time I turn around. I donated a HUGE bag of yarn (think the space saver bags that hold several comforters) and it didn't even make a dent, so running out of yarn is probably not going to happen any time soon. I really need to start organizing and clearing out more stuff, it would be nice to be able to walk around my cutting table without feeling like I'm doing an obstacle course...but that means I have to stop buying more fabric, which I just don't wanna! Collecting and using fabric are two separate hobbies, and I enjoy both of them!

Current Crochet Projects:

• The Child giant version - he's looking for a new home, still no clothes, but I'm done with him LOL
• 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!

• Cotton coffee cup cozies - add buttons and felties, keep making more...

• 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.

• Mermaid tail towel, need to dig this back out.
