WIP Thursday - Where Did All the "Extra" Time Go?

Was it just a few weeks ago that I was confident I'd have PLENTY of time to prepare for the next market...which is now barely a week away? Yeah, I got a little cocky there ;) I have actually gotten several things ready (crayon rolls and Moondance journals), but I'm now in overdrive to restock the doodle dolls, blankets, and kitchen towels. I'm not even bothering to consider keyfobs, finger puppets, or any of the other little things I usually add on last minute. 

Just a few of the things I'm trying to finish!

If the maintenance was up to date on my backup embroidery machine, and I had the room, I'd totally be running that at the same time. Instead I have minions stuffing for me as I prep and finish orders, and I have no such thing as 'down' time until after the show. After I finish on Saturday, I have to pack for a business trip, so there won't be a sale until I get back, and probably AFTER Christmas. Maybe it will be a 'I didn't get what I wanted/got money for Christmas and want to spend it on ME' sale...with all my purses and fun extras!
