WIP Friday - It's TIME!

This Saturday is the first event of the year for me, a fun little con at my local library! I've been prepping as much as I can, and even though it's not a big event, it helps me get motivated to inventory what I have and figure out what exactly I need to add to fill in the gaps! I won't be taking the blanket inventory (it's going to be 100!), but all the other fun things like doodle dolls, finger puppets, (some) hooded towels, and the wall art are going to show up there. 

Just a few last minute things to finish...

So Many Brandt's Boulevards! Poe, Scooby, and Star Wars

I teased this a few weeks ago, and here it is - the mega wallet post! So many fun wallets made from the same pattern, the Brandt's Boulevard from ChrisW designs! I love how the different fabrics make it a totally different wallet! Each wallet really deserves a separate post, but there are only so many pictures you can take of a wallet before it gets boring...

I can't decide if the 'no' background actually looks better or not. I really need to work on my picture setup!

Illuminations Wanderflap Crossbody - ChrisW Designs (Pattern Testing)

ChrisW has done it again, this is another amazing bag! The Wanderflap Crossbody looks like just a stylish purse, but it has SO MANY FEATURES! 

It's even prettier in person!

WIP Tuesday - Caught Up?

I think I'm actually caught up for once! I only have two open orders, and I'm just waiting for a response (and pre-washing glitter fabric) for the first one and the second one just came in, so that counts as caught up!  I actually pulled out a few of the prepped Moondance notebook covers to start stitching them up, and I'm still working on the doodle dolls and more blankets to prep for the upcoming craft shows. I also started stitching a bunch more wall art, which means that I should be finishing them this week! 

I love how the fabric shows through and it looks like the moon!

Bob Ross Phoenix Billfold Wallet (XOXO By Lauren)

 Sometimes you find the most interesting fabrics, like this fun Bob Ross painting one! Pair it with a super quick wallet pattern, like the Phoenix Billfold from XOXO by Lauren, and you have a unique wallet.

Happy tree paintings!

WIP Thursday - Where is the Summer Going?

It's almost time for my birthday, which was bittersweet when I was a kid. On the one hand, BIRTHDAY!, but on the other hand, it's almost the end of summer! My goal to be productive this summer and stitch up a bunch of things for the upcoming craft shows is slowing coming along, but I should probably kick it up a notch, so I have less last minute finishing to do the night before a show... although last minute panic IS a pretty good motivator!

Auditioning some fabric for the test bag, actually matches, I promise!

Captain America Laptop Sleeve and Witcher Pillows

 Not everything I make has to be elaborate or even a purse! For the laptop sleeve, I took the Sewn Ideas Book Sleeve and added on a few inches to make it fit a laptop!

It doesn't look bigger than the usual ones I make, but it is!
