But, instead of getting motivated to get back to a project, I have to set a timer so I'll stop sewing and get to the laundry, cooking, or other housework that I choose to ignore while in my sewing room. |
Great suggestions - and I'm here to say THEY WORK! I was feeling a bit tired after a busy mother's day (and wanted to watch the end of Survivor), so instead of just sitting/laying on the couch, I set up my machine on a table so I could also see the TV and was able to chain stitch and watch/listen to Survivor at the same time. It's hard for me to "think" and watch TV at the same time, but just stitching was fine - and I was able to get alot accomplished in those 2-3 hours!

The couch usually means a hand stitch project for me like crochete knitting or counted cross stitch so I'm still doing something.
