My Mom and I kid about this all of the time. She has only one project at a time (but buys three or four ahead of time!). I have at least 3 to 5 going at one time. I can NOT buy material for a project, come home with it, and not atleast cut part of it out (I've got to get my fix?!?!). I also modify patterns and ideas as I am working on a project which causes me to have to make a visit to the store while she is strictly by the book. I also make clothes for my kids so those are more projects going at the same time, too.
