I live in Florida & it's TOO HOT to do any yardwork in the summer, so that's when I do most of my sewing(or should be if I wasn't on this board all the time,lol)!!! I have to sew year-round, it helps to relieve stress and is so relaxing to me. Besides my DH works & I'm home all day by myself(I'm on disability) except for my furbaby Tia!!
