there are days when I can't get in my sewing room at all and I still work full time too. With the economy the way it is, I probably won't get to retire ever!! I am off every other Friday, and spend every minute I can sewing on that day. On the weekends, I like to get up hours before everyone else and can usually get in at least 3 heavnely uninterrupted hours. Sometimes I have a hard time getting to sleep at night because I can't turn off my mind from thinking about sewing stuff!!
