How about, "my crafting(sewing) clock has more hours in the day" or "there was an anomaly time continuum while I was sewing(crafting)" last one... "my enthusiasm exceeded the clock"

this is it exactly!

Happy to know that I am in good company. I have enough ideas and projects to last ten lifetimes.

Most definitely. My two closets/2 bookcases attest to that. We all have good intentions. Too bad we have to sleep too.

I have a similar problem, as I'm trying to meet a deadline to finish a quilt for our July 4th family reunion, and need to finish the top so that I can send it to my niece, who has a long arm quilting machine. However, I just lost a month in time because I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and then spent another 2 weeks in rehab. That pneumonia really knocked me for loop and it's a struggle every day as I don't have the energy, but working on it. You would not want to see my "Roundtoit" List, as it keeps growing.

God bless you and your grandkids. They need you most right now, and they have the example of a well organized life. Someday they will be gone and you will be sad, but then you can sew to your heart's content.

Sometimes I feel like "if you give a mouse a cookie" or "a moose a muffin"...whichever book you shared with your children.

I'll start on something in my sewing room, then switch to something else...and then forget what I initially wanted to accomplish.

Seems like we all have the same problem, I need to add to that, Sometimes I have the time but am not in the mood and know better to work on a project I am not in the mood to do as it only will have to be re done.

I had my own storefront shop for 29 years and taught sewing and quilting at night at a local big chain fabric store. I could not wait until the day when I sold my shop, retired from teaching and had a dedicated room for sewing and crafting. Well, the time came and I think the phrase is 'Retirement is going to kill me!!". I am busier now then I was then! Every day I get up and start in working on an assortment of projects. I still teach, I work 3 part time days at a fabric shop and I volunteer at a seniors shoppe. None of these were planned, they all sort of just happened. Add this to the selling I do online and various commission jobs (mostly for gnome homes and witches/fairy custom houses) and there truly are not enough hours in a day. I thank God I am able to still do these things, but, I am now looking forward to my next attempt at retirement......But. I think this is the nature of creative people. We have so many things in our heads that we want to make.

I just took a load to the Goodwill to make room for all the ideas in my head!
