I don't check the time when I'm sewing unless I have a favorite show coming on or have to be somewhere. Many times DH will say are you cooking dinner tonight and I'll say I just had lunch is it dinner time already? Just make a sandwich and make me one too please.

There is a clock in my sewing room that I can see from most areas as I work. Today, for lunch, I was baking a quiche that needed to cook for 45 minutes. I took a timer set for 43 minutes to the sewing room so I wouldn't forget to take the quiche out of the oven on time. I spend every spare minute quilting and often use the timer.

Friday afternoon I put 6 eggs to boil. [you know where I'm going, right]. Then I thought "I think I'll call my sister in Indiana and we talked 40 minutes. Eggs on high. We opened windows, all the doors, I'm still scouring the pan. And wiped down cabinets, walls, floor, etc, etc. Little pieces of shell and eggs all ooooover the place. I forgot to set the timer on the stove. LOL

I've come close to similar tragedies. What is a tragedy is that we do have more to do than just sew. Lol.

My oven has a stop cooking timer. I can set it and the heat turns off. It has saved me many times. I can't hear or if I do hear the low oven chime for the timer it just doesn't register to me even if I'm in the kitchen. I need a bullhorn to go off.

I bought a really nice clock with the temperature included...I love it.
I always like to know what time it is. It bugged me at the school where our kids were going that every classroom didn't have a clock! (So I bought one for each classroom that was my kid's home rooms.--Poland--not expensive ones--about $6/clock).
