66 years old and retired, married and have a 3 1/2 year old Yorkie that demands a lot of my time. I'm in the sewing room for maybe 45 minutes at a time before having to stop and go do something else that needs my attention, like walk the dog, or play toys with her, do laundry, bake cookies. You get the general idea I'm sure. Then back into the room again. It seems to be a vicious cycle most days, and feels like I get almost no sewing accomplished. We go to bed early (7:30) and are up early (5:00). Personally I don't need as much sleep as DH does....maybe if I stayed up later I'd get more done.
