Guilty
Do you ever feel guilty for sewing when it is so nice outside? Like you should be out there soaking up the sun that is not filtered by the screen on the window? :)
|
nope, not at all.
|
Haha! I do! I am sometimes secretly happy when it's raining out!
|
Nope! I don't like being hot in the sun. don't like being sunburned. don't like bugs. don't like to sweat. don't like wind blowing my project around. don't like gardening.
I do like to sew in the comfort of my home with screens and sunshades and air conditioning and TV and all the other comforts. I do hang my laundry out though. |
No, I gave up being guilty about things like that long time ago. I go with the flow now.
|
I've been known to have some guilty pangs when it is gorgeous outside and I am stuck in my windowless sewing room.
|
I fight this all the time. I want to sew but there always seems to be something, puppies to tend to, chickens, husband, dishes, laundry.....I'm sure everyone is the same to a degree.. I just have to some days just say I AM sewing today!! lol
|
I do a bit of both, sewing and ruining around in nice weather.
|
Yes, I do. However, if I make a quick appearance outside once in awhile, that seems to appease that guilty feeling. ;)
|
Nope. My dog tries to make me feel guilty though. He looks at me like he's wondering why he has to be stuck with me in my sewing room when HE could be out in the sunshine!
|
No, it is air conditioned in the house. LOL
|
NOPE, If I had my way it would be 80 during the day, and 60 at night, I turn my air on the first warm day, and only go out side to get in my car.
|
When the sun comes out is when I really want to sew! Go figure.
|
he, he. I have three cats, two of them always let me know it's nice outside and they want to go walking. they go out on a leash. usually when I mow or pull weeds or have time to just sit (in the shade).

I don't feel guilty when it's sunny but I notice that I really like sewing when it's raining out. Don't know why.
|
No feeling guilty at all! Don't like to be out in the sun. My house has lots of big windows so I get to see the outside all day. I also have a wraparound covered porch so when I am outside I am still not in direct sun.
|
it rained all day today so nope, had to do some work.
|
Nope, life too short to feel guilty for doing something you love.
|
sometimes. it is no fun to be in the sewing room thinking I should be outside. I do like it when it rains and I just can't be out and I can sew. Didn't get any sewing done today.
|
Nope...did it today too in fact. Had intentions of getting dressed and dying my hair but oh well...tomorrow's another day.

In nice weather I sew in my family room which has a triple glass door looks out to the pool. Occassionally I look up at the water. When its really hot the doors are closed and the AC is on and in bad wether which is when I love to sew the most CH is on and I'm snug with my quilting. Life is good. My fur babies prefer to stay in with me but can come and go and still see me through all the glass.
|
I'm outside enough so I don't feel guilty. I have more of a tendency to get upset when I can't sew!
|
Here on the farm I spend almost every nice day outside. I tend to only quilt in the winter months and rainy days. I'm good with that as I love being outside.
|
nothing beats the feeling of the warm sun on your skin while the birds are singing and working up a sweat while gardening and then admiring your flowers etc...but then again i love the hum of the sewing machine with Michael Buble on and being creative on a rainy day so I have the best of both worlds!
|
I often move my sewing machine to the table on our patio so that I can have the best of both worlds. I also move my cutting board outside on a non breezy day.
|
Never feel quillty I'm a free spirit and do what I want when I want. Any way isn't the sun bad for you. It is for me hay fever sneezing, burnt skin itchy arm legs can't see and need to shut curtains so I can see to sew. I must admit I like the spring and autumn when the seasons change and beautiful colours of trees and flowers and a camera is quick and lasting reminders.

I feel guilty for not sewing...I have a lot of projects waiting for me, but I'm wiped out after work, and, on the weekends, the yard is now demanding all my attention. I now I have a deadline coming up and the project's not done!
|
No guilt here, I can sit by my sliding glass door and enjoy the outside while I sew. Allergies keep me inside most of the time. Never work outside. DD and DH do all the mowing, gardening etc.
|
I resent any reason for stopping.
|
Summers are too short here in Maine and I just purchased a new kayak... we have plenty of long (often snowy) winter days to quilt but an extremely short summer to enjoy gardening, hiking and the beautiful outdoors.
|
Not at all when I am doing what I really love.
|
Nope. I can still see how beautiful it is outside! I used to feel bad when my sewing room was in the in-windowed basement though.
|
NO! I don't like the sun much. If it's too warm outside I get crankier than normal.
|
I try to take advantage of the beautiful weather. Coffee on the deck listening to and watching the birds, grooming my dog. It is very soothing and I love it. When it is cool, I try to do a little gardening. At night and when it rains, there is plenty of time for sewing. Now all I need is to find time for cleaning. :D
|
Yes! I can hear the weeds in the flower bed calling me, the dog needs to go out and I keep seeing yard stuff that I need to do...but then I go back to my sewing room with the blinds drawn so I can't see the yard and just sew away.
