Craft Freak Out - Update

I own two sewing machines, and both of them were in need of a tune up.  Thankfully, on Friday they were ready to be picked up from the repair shop, which meant that over the weekend I could start assembling one of the quilts.  I am using Linda Kopp's book, Quilts, Baby! as a reference - it's very inspiring!

I probably could have finished it if I wasn't also working on this:

I am loving this Sweaterbabe pattern, I can't seem to put it down!  There's always something interesting going on...

Craft Freak Out!

Today, after several weeks of unbearable weather, the humidity finally lifted.  I woke up with energy I didn't know I would have this far along in my pregnancy. While I did accomplish some "practical" things, I am having a total craft freak out.  I can't stop starting projects!
