November Goals - Better late than never, right?

 You know it's been a crazy couple of weeks when it's the 8th of the month, and I'm just getting around to putting my goals down on paper! 

Craft shows have been sort of blah this fall (you can check out my Craft Show Recap playlist on YouTube here )

So for the month of November, I'm going to work on getting back to basics... working on known best sellers. The exceptions will be 1) my #amibookchallenge - making something from a pattern I purchased, but haven't used, and 2) my Crazy Critter Challenge. 

So, my list will be rather vague - no numbers / goals, just "here's a list of best sellers - focus on them." 

1) For the #amibookchallenge, I will be making FoFo The Bull - Pattern Here DONE



2) My Crazy Critter Challenge turned out to be a dark blue bear with white stripes. Okay, that's workable... DONE

Peppermint Pete
Pattern is Buddy Bear 2.0 from Craftably Ever After
Well, his pants are sort of dark blue...


Best sellers / restocks to focus on: 

Elephants

Big Head Turtles (free pattern on Instagram from MercanHandmade) - finished two: 



Ballerina Kitty - free pattern from Grace and Yarn

Finished 11/7 - sold 11/18! 


Penguin Mini - paid pattern from Minigurumi


Hilde the Highland Cow - free pattern from Yarn Society

Finished a Chocolate cow, and it sold at my 11/11 craft show. 
Made another one for a custom order from Etsy. 

Since the other two sold, I made "Snowball"



Dachshund - my own pattern

Ankylosaur - both my usual pattern from Handmade by Halime, and a new pattern, smaller, from Complicated Knots on YouTube



Made another one for a custom order




Cute Mini Dino - free pattern on my blog

Forest Friends - paid pattern from Minigurumi on Etsy

Hamsters - paid pattern from Minigurumi on Etsy

As of 11/18, all three of these sold... I guess I'm making some more! 

My 11/11 craft show went VERY well, so I have to step back from November goals for a little bit and restock items that sold! 


Restocked Triceratops, coffee cups and flip octos!
