WIP Monday -Change of Plans!

I was supposed to have a big show over the weekend, but instead my body decided that it was time to visit the ER and see how the hospital food is...good news is that we caught everything in time and I should be ready to go for my final show in 3 weeks! (and the hospital food was decent) I'm sill trying to get more things finished, and planning on a sale in my Facebook group, and this gives me a little more time to work on everything without as much last minute rushing! First, I'm focusing on finishing the doodle dolls and making more blankets, since those are good sellers and the blankets take up a bunch of space! 

Which side of the 'Die Hard is/isn't a Christmas movie' do you fall on?

I only have a few orders lined up right now, so I'm open to some local orders at my show, or online orders through November 9th. I'm also pacing myself, and trying not to overcommit, so I may change my mind on orders at any time!
