WIP Monday - Farewell October, We Barely Knew You

I'm not sure how it's already the last day of October, but I am definitely not ready for November! I really need to bust out orders, but I also need to prep some stuff for the last craft show, which is the Friday after Thanksgiving. I'm obviously wasting too much time on things like eating and sleeping!

A new embroidered blanket I did last night.
I have just over 3 weeks to get everything done...or at least as much as I can! I still have a lot of odds and ends leftover from previous shows, so it's not absolutely critical to restock, but I really want to have some new stuff and use up my supplies. (Like I could use up ALL my supplies in this lifetime...ha!) I'd love to clear out some space, and I think my family would appreciate it. ;)

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)

  • Embroidered MLP tiny bag
  • Crayon Rolls 
  • Embroidered Fox pillow cover - just needs the back cut and sewn! - Need to figure out where it got stashed

  • Replace connector and rivets on Alice in Wonderland Daryl's Drive
