There's been massive flooding in my hometown over the past couple of days, and subsequently everything near the river was evacuated. In a city of 1 million people, approx 75,000 were evacuated from their homes, the Downtown was evacuated (approx 300,000 people work there), and people are in a frenzy to stockpile supplies. If you'd like to read about it here's a good news link.
We were asked to stay home and stay off the roads, so I did! I've been crafting away and finally took some pictures to share.
I organized some yarn into jars...
I finished a baby quilt, here's a preview of it because I haven't given it as a gift yet!
I also made another tag with some leftover binding and fabric from the quilt... Next time I'll be sure to iron the fabric at every step of the way, I noticed that the end result is a little wrinkly, even after ironing.

What's next? I'm about to work on a block-of-the-month that I haven't quite finished... I'll try to work on my birthday quilt (this project has been going on for 2 (or 3?) years and it's time to finish it... and I honestly have 10 or 15 other projects to keep me busy. Stay tuned, if I'm not working I'll probably be blogging!
