WIP Thursday - Still Feels Super Busy

I think this is probably the fewest orders I've had at this time of year for several years...mainly because I haven't finalized a bunch of invoices yet. I feel like this time last year I was MUCH faster at getting orders out, and I was also doing a ton of vax card holder orders daily. Those (thankfully) slowed down, but this year it was pony ears...faster to stitch, but require a little more work to finish. 

Ready to go together!

What all those pieces will eventually resemble...

Necessary Clutch Wallets also became super popular this year in my Etsy shop, so much so that I'm almost out of several of the color options for the maps fabric! I'd love to make a few in new fabrics for samples/ready to ship but I just need to catch up on everything so I have time for fun sewing! Maybe at the end of December...

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.
