I have to be careful sewing does not become addictive at the expense of all other things. It could very easily become that way for me and since I'm retired now my time is less clock specific. Before I know it I've spent the day either sewing or planning a project and the day is gone. I don't want to be so one dimensional so have to put the brakes on sewing sometimes. I must admit however I am a happier person when I can sew some.
