I'm never out of ideas. I have 6-3 ring binders with patterns, and books galore. Just get waylaid with things that have to be done before I can sew. I have this DH that likes to eat . He will sometimes fix a lunch, but he won't grill like some men like to do, but he does the laundry. If I say I'm going to sew today, he knows it means we go out to eat . I keep him because he has put up with me for all these yrs..
