WIP Friday - More Spring Cleaning

 I think this is the longest my 'spring cleaning' feeling has lasted, but I'm STILL finding more fabric to destash and clearing out some of the older inventory! I have a purse sale going on in my FaceBook group right now, probably until I clear out at least half of it...Then I might move on to some of the other things I've been lugging to craft shows for a while. I really want to start making more fun things and have lots of new stuff this year, but I'm out of space to store finished items! 

One of the bags on sale!

Mouse H2O to Go Slings (Lind's Handmade)

Obviously, if you are going to various parks, you need appropriate H2O To Go slings for each! I already shared the magic park ones, now for the Mouse parks!

Very different, but both are fun!

WIP Thursday - Christmas Prep Time

Strange as it sounds, I'm already thinking about (and signing up for) Fall/Christmas shows, which means I need to start making my list of things I want to have ready for the shows! Obviously I'll be doing more of the doodle dolls, crayon rolls, and notebook covers since I have the supplies prepped for them, but maybe starting now will give me time to FINALLY do the geeky stockings I've been planning for years...maybe. I could never be a vendor that focuses on one main item, that would just get too boring! I see the booths with hundreds of keyfobs and the thought of cutting them all out has my hand cramping in sympathy. Or they do only 1 or 2 sewn item in tons of different fabrics, which is probably pretty fast for them, but SO BORING to me! One thing I would like to add is new small purses, fancy totes, and water bottle bags! Just need to start prepping them to sew up between orders, since the orders are starting to pick up again!

I'm OBSESSED with the shaker filler, it's so fun!

Magical Fanny Packs

Do you need a hands-free option for your park hopping? Something that could go over the shoulder or around the waist? How about a flashback to the 80's? This fanny pack is just what you need!

Bright and colorful, but also pretty small!

WIP Friday - Spring Cleaning

I'm still in the process of cleaning out my 'old' fabrics and trying to find them new homes, but there is a LONG way to go! I pulled out 2 new tubs of fabric and panels, and some has already been claimed, but there's not even a noticeable dent! The only bad part about the destash is that I don't want to put the fabric back on the shelves after I pulled it out, so my family room is starting to fill up with tubs of fabric waiting to find a new home...

2 tubs of fabric to destash...top one is already listed but the bottom is waiting.

Wizard H2O to Go Bags (Lind's Handmade)

This was part of a pretty big order for a fun park filled vacation! I love seeing how different fabrics make the same pattern look so different! These were for a parent/child trip, so one has card slots and the other one doesn't.

Two H2O's, twice the fun!

WIP Thursday - Spring?

Last weekend we had lots of snow, and today it's in the 60's. Probably going to snow a few more times before we hit true spring, but the trees and flowers are trying to perk up (and make allergies so much fun!) and I'm starting to feel the urge to spring clean and organize! I started pulling out more fabric to destash, but I realized I have a few tubs of previous destash that I should offer again...I'd LOVE to clear out more of my unloved fabric to a new home where it might actually get used! (or at least moved to someone else's collection) It just takes SO LONG to list up everything, everywhere. Maybe this will be the time I finally start listing fabric on my etsy shop. Or maybe make a separate 'destash' shop?
