I no longer work outside the home - I'm retired and love every minute of it. The first 6 months of retirement I didn't sew a stitch but worked in the house and did projects that had been put off forever. I learned how to cane the seat of my old rocker even. Now I sew 4 - 5 days a week - I love staying home but have a Mother to take care of and 7 grandbabies to watch in school programs, sports events, etc. For the next 3 weeks I will be watching 2 of the kids during the day so won't have a lot of opportunity to sew. I always have 5 or 6 projects in the works. Life is good!
