WIP Wednesday - Halfway Through March

Beware the Ides of March!  Especially if your name is Caesar....

If only he'd had a cute dog to warn him...

In other news, Things Are Getting Done. (yes, needs the caps)  I FINALLY finished up the Dachshund Pick a Pocket wallet!  Now I'm only 3 (purse) orders behind, and if you take into account that I have the interfacing cut for the second one already, I'm really even closer to caught up!  Of course I have several "When you have time we should get together and discuss my purse" orders, but they aren't definite yet so I'm not counting them!

A quick pencil topper request, all from Miss Meggie Designs

Slim Fit Raglan Tee - Disney Version

I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I have an aversion to making clothes.  Getting them to fit right, sleeves, hems...they are all my downfall!  However, now that I have a serger, I should really get over my fear and have fun with the amazing knit fabrics they are releasing and printing in custom fabric groups!  And there are many, many, many patterns made specifically for knit, with easy to follow instructions and FaceBook groups to help you figure it out if you get stuck!  To ease my way into sewing with knits I picked the Slim Fit Raglan top by Patterns for Pirates, a fun Disney knit fabric that wasn't too expensive, and then went for it.  The shirt is for me, since my kids weren't nearly as excited about going to Disney as I was... I had plans to make a few different ones, but my old nemesis, Time, ran out on me!

Shirt in action, we caught Tinkerbell!

WIP Wednesday - Over Halfway Through November?!?!

I know time flies, but this is ridiculous!  I haven't even had a chance to think about Christmas stuff yet; usually I like to make my cards (and get them out by Jan 1 most years...hey, it still counts, right?) and by now I'll at least have a plan for what I need to procrastinate doing.  I haven't even pulled out the card stuff yet, so either I'm going super simple, buying cards, or not sleeping....Hello, Coffee!

New doodles for the etsy shop...eventually

UFO/WIP Wednesday - Catching up on sleep

I usually push myself and don't go to bed until close to midnight, which makes it rough to be up for work by 6 a.m.  Every so often my body will rebel and I either get sick or just crash and sleep.  This has been a week for sleep!  Hopefully soon I will be back up to my usual level of productivity, but this sleep thing is kind of nice. As a result of this 'sleeping' thing I've been doing, not much has been finished this week.

I did manage to stitch out a few of my newer bows (apologies if you saw it already on Instagram or FaceBook!)

(There are several in there...olaf, Mickey and Minnie, Cinderella, Game of Thrones, Tardis, Crochet, Tinkerbell, swirls...)

All things Tinkerbell....

One of my best friends is having a little girl and the nursery is going to be Tinkerbell.  (Really, she already had a Tink room and that became the nursery.)  She couldn't find a crib set in the stores, so she asked for a blanket.  I found a panel and made a super easy and fun blanket for her, but that wasn't enough Tink!
