Knowing that our lives will change drastically in about 5-6 months, I have been kicking the sewing time into overdrive. There is just SO much to do! After Gregory was born, I didn't really touch my machine for a good four months- I am only going to be busier with two children!
In other exciting news, I am going to attend the Houston Quilt Market at the end of October. I am assisting with a modern quilting themed book that my amazing friend, Rachel, is authoring. We are still working out what my role is in helping with the book- but I am psyched to have an amazing weekend away with some great friends from the Boston Modern Quilt Guild. You have to have certain credentials to attend Quilt Market - so this was definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity that I couldn't pass up.
So as I prepare for the Market and a new baby - I need to publicly pledge to stop buying so much fabric!!! I kind of got in "vacation mode" in Louisville and allowed myself some indulgences - but I need to STOP and sew with what I have! There are so many sales lately - but I must resist :)

CONGRATULATIONS! As a recent mommy of 2 (currently 2 1/2 and 11 mo) I can attest that yes, you will have your hands full. But, it is the most amazing thing to see your babies interact! When my eldest gives my youngest a toy unprompted by me...or a kiss...or just chats with her... It is the best thing. And, when you do find moments to be creative it will be a peaceful break from your babes and who knows they may help. My eldest was *helping* me knit today while the baby watched her sister play with the yarn!
