getting ready for quilting

I did get the back done for this quilt.  And I got it basted ready for quilting.  Then I fell asleep for three hours.  This ear infection is just hanging on.  The allergy component is probably what is doing it but the stress of work is not helping.

I am still working on things that seem to take forever so I am not feeling very creative.  Even what I am doing for baking right now feels "routine."  I am trying to get caught up with bread from when I was gone.  I have baked everyday.  Between work and sleeping.  I described myself as fading around the edges today because that is how I feel.  By the end of the day, fading at the edges.

I am obviously more then a bit frustrated!  It will get better and maybe I will get more inspired.  Or at least projects will get finished.  The actual quilting of this quilt will be a work out.  I will need to be less faded.
