I couldn't be the only one

I'm retired, but friends and family seem to think I am a sewing robot and keep flooding me with sewing/mending that "won't take much time." My piles of UFO's and quilt patterns I want to try keep crying out to me.
I wish I could learn to say "No!" to these requests.

I've given up trying to hand quilt and sew by machine in the sewing/2-siamese-cats room. When I do need to do hand work, sitting in my recliner, my 2-yr-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi sits on the floor staring at me and whining for me to get on the floor with him and play. He has even groaned when I come into the living room with a quilt as he knows that he's forbidden to share my lap with a quilt!

I know what you mean. I spent 12 years completing my 2 B.A.s while working full-time and sometimes holding a part-time job as well. So, I finally have my degree and now, I don't really care to work in my field. I have been trying to learn hand applique during lunch hours and I spend down time reading here and searching the web for the next quilt plan.
