I have managed to shrink my WIP list, hooray! Although only a little
Here is my super cute finished cactus pin cushion.
Thank goodness I never have to use that yarn ever again.
My third finished octopom.
I used a bigger hook for this guy so he’s turned out with a bigger head, but somehow I managed to stitch his face the same size as the smaller poms so he’s ended up looking quite smug. Oh well, I’m sure somebody will love him.
And that’s all I’ve managed to finish. Curse those camper van wheels, that’s all I’m gonna say.
In other terribly exciting news, I made my first Etsy sale!! *happy dance*
As an added bonus, it wasn’t a member of my family or a friend. A complete stranger on the internet found my card and decided it was worth spending money on. I’m so happy π
This is just the boost I needed to get my backside into gear and list all my stock. Now I know for defnite that people are willing to pay for my items, but they won’t be able to if they’re just sitting in my FO drawer never to be seen!
So that’s my Friday. 2 WIPs down, 10 to go!
Who else is having a good Friday? Got a FO to share? Let me know in the comments!

Well done on your first sale, that’s really exciting news! I sold at a couple of craft fairs – shifts make it so so hard – and got so much pleasure from knowing a stranger was sending my make to even more of a stranger

Woot Woooot!!! That must feel incredible. I love the part it not being a family member or a friend. That’s what I went around saying when I got my first follower on my blog and then on Instagram. I was running around yelling, “It’s a complete stranger who just likes my stuff.” Good for you and may strangers keep buying your stuff!

Hehe the stranger the better π
It felt even better when the money actually came through. Like ‘this is actual money for my thing I made! No way!’
