When I started this thread I didn't realize just how much I've changed, not just my house. I've become more patient and spend so much more time crafting/creating with my girls (they each have a quilting companion machine from Janome).
But, I must admit, I've also, somewhat, changed for the worse, :lol: . When I need to do the quilting, I take over the dining room and tell the family to eat in the kitchen, hehe. My mending basket takes so much longer to empty out and I no longer hunt for mending. The family knows that if they want something mended then they need to put it in the basket...and I'll get to it...someday!
