I just retired on 3/31 and I thought I would be spending all my days playing in my sewing room, but I find that I have to be in the right frame of mind to actually go up there. So maybe it more about being in the mood then the time thing, I am still working on that. I did manage to finish a quilt for my grandson this week . I say when you are in the mood go for it and everything else will be waiting for you when you are done. :-P
