I am really itching to sit and sew for hours. I have several quilts I want to start (though 2 I have to wait to order some more fabric on payday) but no time.

So do you just sew late at night or what?

Thanks!
When my kids were small, I would sew while they napped or when they went to bed. I would also sew on the weekends. I also started training them early (in small doses at first) how to amuse themselves and play without me being attached to them 24-7. BTW, just my 2 cents worth, but when a man is watching his own children, it is not "babysitting" and I made sure my DH knew that from the start. If you are home with your daughter all day, you are working just as hard as your DH is. OK, off my soapbox now.
