Funkdified or WIP #11

WIP Wednesday at Freshly PiecedHello Wednesday, let's get this over with and onto the weekend shall we. I've been sewing like crazy for the past couple weeks and it has paid off -- but it has also left me in a creative funk. Do you know what I'm describing? The projects are there, the list is there -- the time is even there but the energy, the passion, the flow isn't. I'm in a bit of a sewing funk. 
But my solution for this is more crafting more sewing and hopefully more finishing! Ha! I'm a glutton for punishment - but more over I want to be a professional about my craft and sometimes that means doing things you don't feel like doing. So I move forward, move on and push through some UFO's and mug rugs for mom's day.
But something cool happened a guy friend of mine wants to commission me to make him a king sized quilt for a bed he just refinished. It's a big project but one I'm willing to take on. Now the dilemma of what to charge a friend for such a huge quilt.
Any how, here's what my list looks like:

Still Working on quilting these baby lovelies!
Will they ever get binded and finished????

Zig-Zag Rainbow is almost binded, left over
HST are meant for mug rugs & place mats.

I'm in a funk too. Kind of funny that we both talked about that on our WIP Wednesday. I think the part that bugs me the most is actually having the time to get the sewing done but not the umph to get up and do it!
