WIP Wednesday - I Survived!

I made it through the final show and while it was a good show, I still have SO MUCH left over! I'm running a sale in my FB group to try to find good homes for more of it (and get some storage space back). I forgot how much time it takes to get pictures and list everything, so I haven't even had a chance to start working on the orders again...but tonight should be back at it! If I can get all 4 of the orders finished (not counting the etsy one that just came in) before the middle of December, I won't know what to do with myself. Maybe I'll finally organize/clean the craft studio...or my house... or catch up on sleep....

One of the bigger lanterns, still available!

I seriously doubt I'll have as much free time as I'm hoping...tomorrow is already December! I will go through and update the craft show list...eventually.

  • Ornaments - Finish the ones in the stash, stitch up a few new ones
  • Finger puppets - check inventory, stitch missing ones from sets, add in a new set or 4.
  • Embroidered blankets - (10/20 - Went a little overboard buying new blankets, but they are so fun to make!)

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
