Okay, I aced August. Now, as school starts, Mom's Taxi service will be making more runs, I will be sitting in the bleachers for volleyball games, and fall craft shows start up. It's going to be busy, and I will
probably start getting orders that might keep me from finishing up
items… so I want to clear my WIP. So, here is my "Penguin Pail" for September
Well, things got busy with a couple of custom orders. I ended up ripping out the work I'd done on the dinosaur (#4), didn't do anything with the spider (#3), and only got as far as the back fin with the new fish lapghan (#8). Customer is still debating colors for her Owl Blanket, but says she doesn't need it until next fall. So, all those projects will roll over into October, as I work on an order of fifteen mice and monsters for birthday party favors. Fall craft shows are beginning... so I'm hoping for a bunch of new custom orders!
- Finish horse scarf (just needs ears sewed on and mane added) DONE
- Finish tool kit (hammer and screwdriver done, pliers half done) - DONE
- Finish Spider (just started head)
- Finish Dinosaur (just started head)
- Add price tags to the basketload of finished items DONE
- Add above-mentioned finished items to my inventory spreadsheet DONE
- Scrap Bag Challenge revisited - 2 pounds, 11 ounces of scrap yarn to burn through - DONE!
Beginning of the scrap bag challenge 
Finished off the scrap bag with these!
September 10th, one third of the way through the month, and the bag is down to 1 pound, 14 ounces!
These three popped out of the scrap bag this week!
- Make another fish lapghan, documenting my work better so I can publish the pattern
- Sew button on Snowman cup cozy (last item that needed buttons sewed on sat on the table for two weeks) DONE
- Finalize details on commission for Owl Obsession order - colors, size, etc.
- Make Elegant Knit Crown for customer - DONE!
- Develop new pattern for striped giraffe in a smaller size (first attempt was an epic fail, I ended up with what I am calling "Punk Pony")
