WIP Monday - Still Alive!

Somehow I STILL haven't fully recovered, at least not to the point where I can stay up until midnight working on orders, and still be up in time to get a kid to school and make it to work... so I'm not breezing through orders like I want to. The good news is that I don't have a huge list of paid invoices/orders, but I do want to get through them because they all need to go out! 

Trying a new product, magnetic bookmarks!
This week I should be able to finish up a few more orders, plus ship out a bunch of Etsy orders that I put together over the weekend...so I guess I should get back to it!

  • Random items like bows and hair combs...
  • Stuffies - Put a bunch of patterns onto a USB to try to stitch out samples with my minky stash
  • vax holders (these keep trickling in, but it is definitely slowing down. Time to find something else to make with my awesome plague doctor fabric!)
  • Embroidered pre-made tote bags (6/60) - Taking orders and also making samples for Etsy/craft shows

  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 - Going to start stitching up a few more hoods this month, and try to list the ready to ship ones for sale so I can clear out room!
  • 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 - 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!
  • 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)
