So a rather longish time ago I mentioned I was going to finish up all those UFOs around my house.  I didn't get very far with that last time to be honest.  Frankly, I went through a screw it episode mostly due to the house STILL being kind of trashed.  So it's a little LESS trashed and we are seeing the light at the end of the debt tunnel so I'll be able to buy the storage solutions I want as opposed to living with the ones forced upon me.  My mom was weirdly anti wicker basket.  Pathologically anti as in not only did she not like them for herself, she fought them being in the house at all for any reason even if they were used in a closet she never frequented.

So for fun the next couple weeks I need to finish Suzie's stuff.  I need to alter Melodie's wedding dress from a zipper back to a corset back.  I have to shorten the bridesmaid dresses she bought for her girls.  I have some fabric pulled to make a stack of dragons. 

I can't wait until the car is paid off.  I really need to order felt actually.  The Felt Store has such nice quality stuff compared to the crap at the fabric store and it's less (not with shipping but we can't have everything).

I'm going to finally get the patterns to do the mini play dolls as well so I can offer more than just the art dolls which I found out I can combine hand and machine stitching for faster assembly AND better looks and knowing I can machine stitch felt with a minimal hem I can blow through making some felt food which to be honest, was taking me forever doing each item entirely by hand.  There is still stuff I will HAVE to do by hand obviously.  Small details that require extreme precision that I don't have on the machine but otherwise, productivity will be up to the point that I SHOULD be able to make doll cloths in a few sizes AND play dolls AND felt food AND art dolls AND stuffies and still have time for costuming as well.

So I guess that's kind of my new year's resolution.  To be ready for next fall's craft season even if I throw some of this stuff up on Etsy.  I really want to invest in booth presentation stuff and I can't justify that until and unless I can show I'm profitable.
