I sometimes get up 15 minutes early and just sew. I like to sew scrappy blocks in this small time frame, so it is easy peasy, no thinking, no measuring. Just sewing. I love the strip blocks or crumb blocks for this. Log cabin would be another good one. 10 minute block is awesome for this also. I find I can do one or two blocks each day, very rewarding! It is hard when your busy with children and normal life day to days things, I didn't sew as much those days either. The children are only little for a short time, those were the best years as my dad told me. He was right. I miss those days. Even today, it sometimes is difficult to find uninterrupted time to sew. Perhaps a weekend sewing retreat might be a great treat or gift to yourself.
