Sew Busy!

Here's my current to-do list, in no particular order:
* 4 loveys, 2 travel loveys
* 10 Lovey Buddy Ladybugs (my first wholesale order!)
* 3 halloween costumes (pirate, mermaid, and lobster) for the kids
* 2 knitting needle cases
* Some wipes backed with this super-soft sherpa I just ordered
* A few Owie Bags for a dear friend's daughter
* A weighed blanket for Isaiah

And Abbie asked me last night to make her a new cape. And a new crown. And a baby sling.

Hmm, if I cut out sleep, I should be able to get all this done!

Fabric: My True Weakness

Joann's was having a sale... all flannel for $2 a yard. I went to *just* get a yard of green, and maybe a couple yards of girlie prints for wipes. But once I got there, I went a bit nuts. Came over with 16 yards of fabric in 15 different prints/colors. Oops!
Marbled tie-dye colors. I love these, as they coordinate so well with just about anything. These will be used in a couple rag quilts, as well as backings for various things.
Yikes, stripes! These will mostly be used for cloth wipes. Maybe a burp cloth or two.
Jumping frogs on the left will become a Loopy Lovey, and maybe a bib. Crazy flowers on the top will be wipes, bib and burp cloth. And the aliens will become a rag quilt.
The doggie prints on the left will be a rag quilt. And the sea creatures are already on their way to becoming a couple of changing pads. (My newest creation... coming soon to my shop!). I seriously don't have any more room for fabric. I'm recycling an old dresser, using the top as an ironing board/cutting board/craft table. And all three drawers are stuffed with fabric. I also have one of those 3-drawered plastic totes... also crammed packed. Guess I better get sewing and selling!
