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!

This is probably the first time in over 5 years that I haven't been frantically trying to finish stuff for the end of the year, and I must admit, feels kind of nice! I have been able to add in some fun pattern testing and even consider doing more selfish sewing! I might not know what to do with myself if I manage to completely clear my list...it's what keeps me focused and from starting a million random things and forgetting to finish anything ;) Maybe I'll dig deep into the craft studio and find a bunch of the old projects and get them knocked off the list...or at least organize the craft studio. Maybe.
