WIP Tuesday - I Lost A Week

I'm not sure where last week went, but somehow all the blog posts and projects I planned to work on never got finished...BUT I had a somewhat productive long weekend and was able to mark a few things off the list... I really need to stay focused for the rest of this week! A batch of bunnies did get finished, and now I need to decide if I'm ready to try to list them on Etsy, or just take orders through the group/FB and not stress about getting a lot of orders. 

All the bunny styles!
I have a bunch of random things I want to try out, and sometimes those lead to new orders, so I'm not too worried about actually getting through my order list...not that I'm moving through it that fast anyway. Speaking of procrastinating, I guess I should go work on a wallet now and stop rambling!

  • NCW - Supernatural - in progress
  • Doctor Who blanket
  • NCW  - Supernatural

Embroidery Orders/Projects: 

  • Embroidered pre-made tote bags (0/15) - Taking orders and also making samples for Etsy/craft shows
  • Blankets - new goal, 2/week at least. It's harder to stitch them up after work since they take 1-3 hours each and I don't have as much time in the craft studio where I can keep an eye on them.

  Craft Show Projects (and RTS items): I'll restock soon!

  • Doodle Dolls - did so many, now to make extras for pics and listing on etsy!
  • Crochet Cowls (mini button scarves) - have 2 left to finish,, time to make more!

  • Lanterns (0/14) - all that are left in my stash!
  • Embroidered hand towels (6/15)
  • Crayon Rolls - Time to restock these, getting low!
  • Posh books - (precut vinyl, need to throw these on the machine when I have time
  • Key fobs (restock and stitch new styles)
  • Pocket Pals 
  • 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.

Current Crochet UFO's:

  • 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...
  • 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
  • Crayon Rolls 
  • Embroidered Fox pillow cover - just needs the back cut and sewn! - Need to figure out where it got stashed
  • Mermaid morning glory pouch (half cut out! just for fun project so no rush)
  • Replace connector and rivets on Alice in Wonderland Daryl's Drive

 Ready to go, but will take a bit more effort projects:
