Summer Bucket List

 Okay, It's the beginning of June. I came up with the idea of making a 50-point list of items I've been meaning to make, and see if I can get through the list over the course of the summer. I do have two big craft shows in July, so I may be doing some emergency restocking in the two weeks between the shows if show #1 goes well. 

So, I'm compiling this list by looking around... looking at patterns I've printed, but not done yet, yarn I have around that I'd like to use up, summer challenges, etc. I'll give a little explanation of why that project popped into my head, and as I finish items, I'll add pictures here. Let's see if I can knock off all 50! 

1. Ballerina Kitty - it's a great seller, would like to have a few for the big sales



2. Ankylosaur - Again, a best seller, I would like to have 3 or 4 for my big shows.

3. Bumble Bees - I have yellow & black bulky yarn! 



4. Glow in the dark alien - I have glow in the dark yarn! 

5. Fancy Frog - blue stained glass skirt (using Fancy Fur yarn I have left over)



6. Goldfish (#amibookchallenge for June) - from the book Crocheted Softies
