butterfli 19, don't be so hard on yourself. Having people around is enough, much less trying to sew. Ii've had a grandaughter and her 7 year old son upstairs for 5 months. Got nothing done and she worked and he was in school! Her house flooded and it took that long to get it fixed. I'm too old for this. Just skip all the stuff you had planned and enjoy them. I think!ha.ha. barny
