WIP Wednesday - Can We Panic Yet?

We have a month and 2 weeks until Christmas, so I think it's a perfect time to start panicking! Er, I mean focusing on getting everything done and not totally freaking out that we are already in week 2 of November...

Just need the time to do a bunch more of the adorable stockings and blankets!

As usual, I have an impossible list of things I want to finish before November 25th (craft show), but at least this year I don't have nearly as many orders piled up for Christmas delivery. Maybe I'm finally realizing I can't do everything and am working on setting healthy boundaries? More likely I was just so swamped I didn't have time to set up invoices... Either way, I have slightly less stress and less guilt trying to squeeze in new stuff like the mini stockings (and medium, and large stockings)! I just need to keep from getting sick, and I might actually have time to do stuff before Christmas, like send out cards and bake cookies with the kids!

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...
• 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.

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