I think it's important to spoil yourself. Last year I did a heap of canning over the summer and gave a lot of gifts. I strained my back in the process. I was knee deep in bath salts and soap at Christmas and making handmade labels. I was pretty tired in all truth.
Thank goodness I came to my senses. Sewing has changed my outlook and I've enjoyed grabbing the "necessities" and the numerous bargains that crop up. I'm developing an addiction to sewing machines and on the lookout for fabric. What a difference a year makes.
