WIP Wednesday - Countdown to Christmas

We are only 11 days out from Christmas, and I am NOT ready! This is probably the closest to ready I've been in years, but that's just because I was behind in October already and didn't take in a bunch of new orders. I think everything should arrive in time (fingers crossed), but I really need to work on getting more pics of the rest of the inventory and hopefully keep clearing it out!

Other than the wrinkle, this turned out cute!

I have big plans for next week and the week after, mainly working on cleaning, organizing, and fun projects! I need a break from orders so I can try to get everything back under control. If I get motivated, I might even do a sewing studio cleaning challenge, or at least share before and after pics! Trust me, the 'before' pics will make ANYONE'S sewing area look good...

Current Projects and Orders: (in no particular order) 

• Monica handbag in vinyl - Had this cut out and started, then totally screwed it up trying to sew while sick, so it's on the backburner until I finish up one other order and I can really focus on it

• Blues Clues Bee Balm Backpack - Next up on the cutting table, have it all planned out and just need to get started!

Current Crochet Projects:
