I didn't start quilting until my kids were out of the house. Hubby works out of town so it is just me here during the week. Sometimes I sew all day; sometimes I go days without sewing. I tend to be gone from home a lot. I hate housework so that is always last on my list of things to do. I'm considering hiring someone to clean, then I would at least pick up every 2 weeks. That's what I did when there were 5 of us living here.
