It is my sanity-my domain-my own little private haven. I am in MY ZONE and everyone in my family knows it. It allows my 'creative juices' to flow. If I do it right it is all me and if I do it wrong it is all me. No excuses, no whinning no passing the buck. The only opinion I may ask for is "how do you like the colors". And then all I want a yes or no answer. I have to negotiate and wheel and deal all day. I make some tough decisions all day long. When I sew and quilt I totally RELAX. It is sew much better than a Xanax.
