I too work full time and try to find time for sewing i think the thing that has suffered the worst is my social life but oh well who needs people when i have this right? I usually sew week nights or do all my planning and cutting so im prepared to sew for the weekend i guess its like managing myself as if this wer a bussiness exept for me this is a hobby. And then there have been times where i needed a break from what i was doing and i would go do something else smaller hope this helps. chris
