i keep hand projects going so i have travel projects to work on during breaks at work, waiting at appointments or riding in the car. i get up at 4:30 am and have an hour to sew...then take a shower and go to work...get home about 3:30-4 o'clock...sew until 5; make dinner, eat, clean up kitchen then go sew until 7:30...go out watch jeopardy with hubby, give the cat his treats and go back to sewing until 9...on the weekends i can sew pretty much all day, with breaks...i do have to figure out sewing time vs quilting time-of course...being here is always cutting into sewing time...but sometimes it is necessary :)
