I like Prism99's idea of setting a timer..... I do something similar. I'm retired so I can spend all the time I want at my sewing machine but I have lots of things to do. As most retirees say, I don't know how I had the time to work. Anyway, I'm sure you have several things you'd like to make. Maybe you can't decide which one to start. Pick 3 or four and lay them out. Put numbers on them and ask your DH to pick a number, sight unseen. Then, just start on that one..... consider it a practice run. Don't let yourself 'worry' about anything.... this is just for fun... to get you going. I'm confident that once you start, you will be able to keep going... and going.... and going. When you get stuck, call on us to give you a boost..... I enjoy quilting so much that I have to bargain with myself to get the other stuff done.... Good luck and let us know how it's going.
