I didn't start seriously crafting/quilting until my youngest was a junior in high school. I have always done something as far as crafting goes. I went through the counted cross stitch phase, then I crocheted like mad, but when my oldest child started toddling, she kept taking my projects out of my hands. That's when I quit for about 17 years. I just couldn't work full time, maintain a household, a marriage and put a lot of time into my hobbies. Give yourself a break and look at what your life is demanding that you do right now in this phase of your life.
