I know, isn't it the strangest thing!

I'm not sure I am focused. So many "have-to" fill my life and I yearn to quilt. I just don't put housecleaning as a very high priority, except when company's coming. Our church and our grandchildren and friends keep us busy. I would love to sew a lot more than I am able. When I have time, I will just sew non-stop because I just love it. I would forget to eat unless I was starving.

Whatever gets done in a day does, what doesn't...well there's always tomorrow. ♥♥
what's focused? I can do that...for a little while, but once I get good and interrupted, lol...I'm still focused...on something else! :shock:

So I'm never focused, but am always sewing. House cleaning, dinner, that all comes second, and it's to hot down here to be outside any longer than just getting the mail. So my nice sewing room, which is nice and cool, blinds opento watch the one huge tree we have that gives the house shade all day. So I can be in my little room with no problems.
