Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Does not sewing make you crabby?
I've felt totally off the last few days and thought it was mainly due to an OD of choc chip ice cream. For about 15 mins before I left for work this morning I sewed two triangle blocks- 15 mins - and after I felt so relaxed and at peace. I realized I hadn't sewn since Sunday, and I wondered if that was another reason why I've been feeling so off.
Do you ever feel sort of lost or at odds with yourself if you take a few days off sewing?

Just keep sewing!
Not especially. I've been in kind of a slump the last couple of years, so I only sew when I feel like it, and that is enjoyable.

Yes I do. And if I can't sew I look at the board to get somewhat of a fix.

First of all, I don't think there's any such thing as an overdose of ice cream! But, yes, I get crabby when I don't sew. Which is why the house has fur balls and dust bunnies and other various clutter. But at least I'm not crabby. Or not as much, now that menopause is over! Haha!
sewing is calming for me most of the time, I need my sewing time. It must be the addicting smell of antique sewing machines.
Yes, I do. I normally quilt a little bit each day. Been off since I have been trying to get my quilting studio painted. And I know that I am having off days until I can get back to quilting.

I do find myself in a better frame of mind when I get to fondle fabric. A few weeks ago, after a very frustrating morning, I took myself to the LQS for a fabric fix on the way home.

I usually find it relaxing. But I think it depends upon what else I have going on. If I have lots of other activities scheduled that have to be done first I can get a little frustrated with trying to get everything done and still fit in enough quilting time. Although I am retired I sometimes have a problem over-committing myself.
I suffer from the same "ailment" as Tartan. I see my sewing room (The Bat Cave) as my safe haven--away from the phone, DH, dog, neighbors, etc. To quote Simon & Garfunkle I'm "hiding in my room, safe within my womb". Even if it's just 15 minutes of cutting or folding fabric, I feel at peace.
