I can't wait to get to my sewing room every day, but I make myself do my housework and run errands before I'll let myself sit down at the machine. I mean....who else is going to clean the bathrooms and make the beds?

I know how you feel because I am this way too. The way I work is 6 nights on 12 hr. shifts and then 7 off. On the 6 on, I NEVER get to sew a stitch as time will not allow. So, I either get on the quilting board in the very little spare time I have a work, or I always have a quilting magazine with me. Hate when I can't sew.

There is no pressure to get these done but i am not happy unless i can sew something at least once a day. Is it Passion or Obsession?????

Accept the fact you are passionate about you love of sewing and you troublesome feelings will straighten themselves out.
I had so many projects going I couldn't get anything done. Took what I call a 12 hour big breath and sat down with pen and paper and now I have a to do list that let's me work on two projects. What was panic is now order. The need to sew isn't going to stop any time in my future so I might as well, control what I'm doing.
