I have a clock in my office/sewing/storage room/hall....can't find it.

Yes, I have two clocks in my sewing room. At least 2-3 clocks in every room except the bathrooms(only one in each) and none in laundry room. I don't usually look at the clocks in sewing room, I get so engrossed in my sewing that I forget to stop & eat or fix dinner. Thank goodness, DH doesn't mind soup & sandwich or stopping at Subway on his way home,lol!! It's been over 90 lately each day & too hot to eat much food.

I have a clock in every room except my bathrooms. LOL I don't sew in there. I need a clock to keep me on schedule -- when I'm sewing I lose all track of time.

I have a clock in my sewing room that I never look at.
So I bought a timer from King Arthur Flour that I can set for how long I want to be sewing. Get up, walk around and reset when I sit down again.

Actually,I had a Kit Kat clock in my sewing room and I had to take it down because it made noise and it drove my friend nuts! That is the clock that looks like Felix the cat with the moving tail and eyes.

I'm with you Melody. I have a clock (or two) as well as a TV
in every room except the bathrooms. When sewing I forget the time. Also a phone in most rooms.

yes, I do have one in my sewing room..and refer to it quite often.

but in this day and age, the cell phone is usually attached to the hip, so time is always with me.....

I have an old mantel clock that I bought at my FIL auction after he died. My dad worked on it, putting it back together. It is in my sewing room, but not wind up. The tic-toc drives me up the wall. I wind it up ocasionally. Because Time stands still for no man, but a quilter, now that is a different story.
