Well, let's see, I work full-time, am starting a Prayers & Squares ministry at my church, am starting a once a month "bring your own project to work on" at my church as well, am co-chair of the fellowship at church, have DS and 2 DGD's (ages 2 & 4) that live w/me...needless to say I'm really busy A LOT of the time. A couple of things I've done to carve out time for me to quilt are:
1. Dedicated sewing area...very important!
2. DH had me hire a teenager to come in twice a month to do the grunge housework...love it!
3. Do handwork while DH watches tv...he works out of town some weeks 3-4 nights so when he's home spending time w/him is extra important. I always try to have some handwork projects ready to work on.
4. When I can't sleep I sew
5. I try to schedule at least 15 minutes each day to doing something quilty...even if it's just straightening up or looking at a quilting website or magazine. By spending even a little time at what I love it keeps me wanting more!
