Two of you had snakes in the house, YIKES! And an 11 hr. work day? You're making me feel like I have no excuse for not sewing every day! I work part time ( usually 6 1/2 or 7 hr day) 5 days a week, take care of 4 ponies, a barn full of cats, 1 dog & a few acquarium fish, and attempt to garden and keep house. I do need to have the urge to quilt and the energy. It doesn't happen every day. When I haven't worked at my sewing machine for a few days, it's a great "fix" to sit down and work on a project again.
