WIP Monday - Am I actually almost caught up??

We're heading into the busiest time of the year and for once my order list isn't intimidating! I might actually get to decorate the house instead of leaving it up to the rest of the family...and possibly send out Christmas cards? That might be a little TOO ambitious, but we'll see! I'm neck deep in prepping for the Holiday Bazaar this weekend, and I'll have more prep work for the final show I'm doing in December (fingers crossed I sell a ton of the bigger things!) I can always find more things to sew up, so I'm not worried about running out of stuff to do...and worst comes to worst, I have mountains of fabric i need to organize, destash, and/or find new projects for them...

I feel like this blanket was pretty perfect.

Rescue Rangers Helena Hobo Bag (RLR Creations) - Pattern Testing

Have you ever seen a pattern and thought "that's nice" but it didn't jump out and grab you? When I first saw this one, I thought it was cute but not really MY style. I'm so glad I didn't pass on testing the pattern because after I made it in a fun fabric, I realized it's actually pretty awesome!  Even my teenager said she might want one (in a different fabric, but STILL!). The Helena Hobo from RLR Creations is a bag that will be a great addition to my lineup!

This bag is really hard to capture in pics, the details just don't show up as nice as they do in person!

WIP Thursday - Small Breather

I just have one more order to finish up for this week (plus all the last minute pony ears), and then I don't have anything immediately due to ship! I should probably keep going on the next orders so I can get ahead, but I might take the weekend to start working on some of my fun craft show projects, like crayon rolls and the Moondance notebook covers...or catch up on my sleep.

Next order on the cutting table!

WIP Thursday - Wing-a-palooza

This year I decided to prep a bunch of the paw patrol wings BEFORE the Halloween rush...and I still ended up frantically making more. So far I've made 23 since August, and I'm trying to talk myself into listing just a few more on Etsy but I'm kind of ready to move onto other things... I've already had to order in more vinyl for the pieces, plus they stopped selling the fuchsia felt at Joann's, so I'm on the hunt for a replacement felt! I've also almost used up my 100 yards of fold over elastic that I use for the goggles and straps (took me 2 years), and they no longer carry it in that big of a roll...

My sample set, hacked 2 patterns to make these!

Diagonal H2O to Go and More!

The H2O 2Go from Lind's Handmade is a super handy bag, and great for fun fabrics! I have plans to make a ton more, when I get all caught up on everything. For this order, I used the pretty diagonal stripes from Knitorious Fabrics.

These stripes are radical!

WIP Tuesday - Market Time!

I survived my first fall show, the Harvest Market, and I was almost ready for it! Well, not really, but I had plenty of stuff for the show. I still want to make a bunch of stockings this year (finally), but I'm wondering if making pillowcases with my fun fabrics would be a better seller...and I really need to add more things to Etsy. I'd love to clear out my hooded towels and blankets, those take up the most room in my storage.

Finger puppets!
