WIP Tuesday - Low Key Panic Time

Now that it's October, I really need to focus on knocking everything off my list and figuring out priorities for the handmade market on November 25-26. Plus I have a few people waiting to place orders, so I want to get them on the list and then I can see how much sleep I won't be getting...Once I make it past the shipping cutoff for Halloween costumes, I should be able to focus on more than stitching pony ears and wings again, which will be very nice!  I'm not complaining (much) but I do miss actually sewing up complicated things!

One of the many waves of orders I've been trying to ship out ASAP!

For now, back to the wings, goggles, and ears! I'm trying to cut a purse out in between steps of the embroidery, but the wings actually need me to stand by the machine to stop it from trying to eat them. Whoever said running an embroidery machine was 'no work' obviously never used one...There's a reason I named mine the Diva. ;)

• Embroidered blankets - Check inventory, stitch up some replacements and a few new ones

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.
