WIP Wednesday!

That's right. I'm starting a wip Wednesday. Every Wednesday I'm going to take a photo or two of what I'm currently working on (depending on how many projects there are) and would love to see what you're working on too!

This week I have two projects that I have in progress....

Gingerbread Bear

 First project I started was this Gingerbread colored Christmas bear. He's going to be going towards the December craft fair here in town. Eventually he will have a green accented twin but for now he's a very lonely half built bear. The goal is to focus on him today and get him finished up. Normally it does not take me this long to finish a project this size but since I've been trying to do two projects at once it has eaten into my time a great deal. I don't think it's worth it. I might have to go back to focusing on individual projects and just knocking them out instead of splitting my focus like this.

Lalylala Lion

This is the head, leg, and almost foot of my son's Christmas present. He loves lions and wanted a blue, purple, and red one with wings. Since I made the dragon for his sister it only seemed right that I make him a lion from the same pattern set. This lion came from the Loni the Lion pattern from Lalylala.com. He should be quite adorable when he's done, though to get the desired winged lion that my son is so desperate for I will have to pull the wing pattern from Dirk the Dragon/Dinosaur and add them to this little guy. Hopefully my son will appreciate the love and time that went into him. Sure he's only turning 8 but still!

That's it from me as far as this week's wip Wednesday goes. What do you have going? I would love to see it! Don't be afraid to show your stuff! Even if you're a beginner and don't think your project is good enough to show... stop it! Anything that comes from the heart and is made by hand is worthy of display. Be proud and show your stuff!
