I always have a few things going at one time. I have the next project that has to be finished by a deadline going in one spot in my sewing room and my most recent "I'm so excited to be working on this" project going in another spot. Then there's another spot with the project that keeps catching my eye......got to try that one out.....maybe check out the pattern why preparing dinner...
I never restrict my creative side. I go with what appeals to me at the time and may have MANY things going at a time. It works for me because I am retired and have all the space I need to spread out.
The DGKs don't mind when they visit because they are also "crafty" and love to help with my projects.
