I teach kdg and there are times of the year when I just simply do not have much time to sew due to added school responsibilities. For example, this next month (May) is always a busy time so I will only worry about getting my BOM finished. I try to sew an hour, or two, every evening. It is easier for me because I have no children at home and my DH is gone at least a couple evenings a week. I, too, am often amazed at the amount of projects some people are able to 'turn out'!
