I do NOT sew every day!!
There are other things to be done... occasionally the odd bit of housework, swimming to cool down in the stinking heat this summer, maybe read a book or on the computer!!

You are not alone :)

Me too! I may have a marathon day or two of 4-6 hours and not get back to the projects for a week or more...and then for just brief periods. I do volunteer work and have a couple of Bible Study classes each week, plus a husband that take up alot of my time.

I am home on permanent disability so I do get to sew everyday. I would lose my mind if I couldn't sew everyday. I use the machine or work on a project I have that I need to sew by hand. There were many, many years that I worked outside the home and couldn't sew. I hate that I am unable to work any longer but, I love that I can now sew when I want.

Nope, don't sew EVERY day, but would like to. Now that I have a machine upstairs I may be able to sneak in for a few minutes a day. I'm working on it.

I too do not get to sew everyday. I work full time and sew when I can. Although right now I am sewing everyday b/c I have king rag quilt to finish before next Saturday for someone.
