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.
