No I'm like dd I do not like being outside I do not like bugs, mosquitos hot sun or the wind I can look out my window while sewing and close enough for me
|
I do, until the heat of summer hits then all guilt is done. I agree with the post above that I love rainy days because then I am not telling myself that I should be outside.

I'm outside enough so I don't feel guilty. I have more of a tendency to get upset when I can't sew!

Guilt is too damaging an emotion unless you have deliberately done something hurtful to a person. Enjoy a little time in the garden, but do what makes you happy! I walk in the morning, garden late in the day when it's cooled off, and quilt in between whenever I can.

If I have yard work it gets taken care of in increments of time but no more than an hour a day. Same thing with the house. Alittle more time with the cooking. I grew up on a farm and old habits have stuck with me regarding productivity. I am busy and get a lot accomplished but my day is planned, even down time. I take care of my MIL that is 90 years old and has dementia(spell check is needed here). My own mother gets one day a week and it has been a great thing to do for myself as well as for my mom. My dad passed away a year ago. Mom will be 86 in July. I have a large combined family. Together my husband and I have 7 living children and one deceased. With their spouses that totals 14 adults that are now in their 30's and 40's. 19 grandchildren from 2 months to 22 years of age. We have a revolving door. I have always worked, mostly as a case worker. I am now retired but take that retired with a smile. I also watch my newest grandson 2 days a week and a 1st grade granddaughter before and after school. There are many coordinated efforts made to make this all work but it does. I couldn't do it without help and without being organized. I quilt between stuff and after stuff and sometimes an entire day, but quilt I do and I love it. NO GUILT RAIN OR SHINE.

No reason for guuilt when I can pack it all up and put it on the deck. Sewed out there all day yesterday and enjoyed every minute of it
|
Nope, but sometimes I take my machine outside and sew, best of both worlds:thumbup:
|
I'm an "air condition" girl in the summer and a "heat" girl in winter. Love to stay inside away from the flies, bugs, and humidity. Sometimes I don't even answer the door because I'm having an affair with my fabrics and machines. Not interested in laying in the sun. My husband built houses all his life and now is having a lot of issues with skin cancer where he worked in the sun putting up wall and nailing down roofing.
|
No guilt here, my allergies are so bad this spring if I go out I almost need to wear a mask. So quilting it is. :)
|
Nope that doesn't bother me. On occasion I will start to feel guilty about the house being a mess or dinner not cooked but I can usually squash that feeling.
