For me it's right now,very early am after I get out of bed,power on the puter & TV, make myself a huge glass of tea....it holds 3 cups :-D
Then it's time to sit down,scoot the lap top closer & scroll thru the board.I'm most always awake between 4-5am, so I'm an early bird.DH is retired & he sleeps in.... this is "my time" :-D What about you?

sewTinker 10-29-2010 01:45 AM

I'm just the same as you! I do pop on & off throughout the day, tho. But my main time is early morning with a Big cup of coffee. Up at 4 am. Except that I check facebook first. lol...

Patty Patches 10-29-2010 01:56 AM

I;m a early bird too. It;s usally about the only me time I get.Big cup of coffee and the QB ,doesn;t get any better than that.lol

purplemem 10-29-2010 02:05 AM

I'm an early bird, also. My dh gets up at 3 to go to work, I'm usually up cuz I haven't slept yet. So, I cruise through the QB until he leaves for work, then I go to bed.

Juliebelle 10-29-2010 02:47 AM

I too am an early morning person and spend about 45 minutes on this great site every morning. I am retired so my time is now my own and I am loving it. Sometimes I come back on in the evening to check on what is going on.

littlehud 10-29-2010 03:36 AM

I am usually here on and off during the day and a long stretch at night. I'm only here early when I'm at work. Don't tell my boss. :lol:

CarrieAnne 10-29-2010 03:48 AM

Mostly mornings here too. Coffee and the qb!

fidgety 10-29-2010 03:58 AM

I am off work now so it is first thing in the morning and off and on during the day. But I will be going back to work soon so it will be in the evenings only. Boo Hooo...

just-sew-together 10-29-2010 04:06 AM

I love coming here in the wee early hours of the morning (4-5) it helps to clear the cobwebs :) :) :) and sets the day for a more positive outlook on the matters at hand. I find myself using this site to "Take-A-Break" more times than I should ......But just love the inspiration I receive during each visit. The chores will just have to wait their turn!!! :)

Have a GRAND Friday Everyone.

cjomomma 10-29-2010 04:39 AM

Between 6:30 am to 8:30 am and then 10pm to 11pm, these are the quiet times around here. But I am on and off here all day. I am a stay at home Mom so I can check on here often.

erstan947 10-29-2010 04:41 AM

I'm in and out all day too.

I too am on early in the mornings. That's when I get the most time to check things out. I don't get much sleep, so it can be anytime after 1 a.m. and I also browse the QB as I take breaks during the day for my back.

doitallmom 10-29-2010 04:45 AM

I check it when I first get up also, though thats not til 8 or 9. Then off and on thruout the day when I want to "take a break". And last thing before bed. This site is addicting.

hperttula123 10-29-2010 04:50 AM

I usually don't get on here until the evenings, mostly about 5 pm. I work all day and only give myself 15 minutes in the morning to get ready for work. If I made time to go on here in the morning, I'd have to call in everyday...lol. It's addicting. I love looking at the beautiful stuff that people make.

Me too - during the day. Mostly before work and during lunch. I'm too busy sewing in the evenings/weekend to do much else tho...

pieces 10-29-2010 05:06 AM

In the am while I'm eating breakfast. Hubby leaves for work at 6:30, I start a load of wash, make the bed, and here I am.

Annaquilts 10-29-2010 05:08 AM

Late at night and early am. I have sleep issues so it is the perfect time.

ckcowl 10-29-2010 05:35 AM

i'm an early bird too, but lately i'v been bringing the laptop to work with me, i've found some day's i am not able to really get any sewing done but i can have the computer and the board up and just sit down in front of it every so often, sometimes for 10 or 15 minutes, sometimes for 2 minutes, sometimes longer...but if i think i have longer i usually try to get some sewing out instead...i'm never going to get my holiday projects done this year! :(

DJ 10-29-2010 05:46 AM

What a bunch of early risers! Me, too! Cuppa jo, computer, kitty, quiet house!

happymrs 10-29-2010 06:16 AM

I am morning person too, up before my retired DH, so, after the three dogs have been out, had their morning snack & the coffee is ready, here I am! I am a homebodie too, so check in during the day. Online here, is my company, as we don't get much out here in the woods, away from town, & no close girlfriends, so my online friends & company do it for me. And I must say, what a better way to start the day, then stop in for other short visits, during the day! Love it! I am generally up by 7:30 on, no way at 4 or 5am, lol....

MomtoBostonTerriers 10-29-2010 06:19 AM

I, too, check the board first thing in the morning. But my morning doesn't start until 8 a.m. or so. I work at home, so I don't set the alarm clock. Just get up when I feel like it! By the time I've finished my first Diet Coke, I've gone through all of the new messages. Then off to work I go.

mhansen6 10-29-2010 06:27 AM

I come to work early so I can review what is new. Also at lunch time. My work doesn't mind if I use the computer for personal stuff as long as I get my work done.

dottientx 10-29-2010 07:08 AM

It's so interesting how this QB seems to be such a great part of our lives. I tend to check my 'puter anytime during the night when I wake up especially early in the morning. It's probably the 4th thing I do when I first get up in the morning. Take care of personal matters first, feed my two cats second, make my coffee third and then check to see what's from the QB. I'm especially interested in photos of sewing rooms so that's probably mostly the first thing I check out after I join the rest of you. After emptying the coffee pot then it's time for household matters. Now you know where my priorities are. LOL

paintstoregirl 10-29-2010 07:43 AM

I tend to pop in and out during the day for quick checks, but late at night after everyone else has gone to bed is when I spend the most time on here. I tend to be a night owl. I typically don't go to bed until 12:30 or 1. This site is sooooo addictive!

leiladylei54 10-29-2010 08:20 AM

I do the morning thing, then the late night thing, too. But will confess to checking in during the day, too. I'm addicted.....it's a wonder anything gets done around here!!! LOL

DebraK 10-29-2010 08:21 AM

After the family is sent away for the day.

Conniequilts 10-29-2010 08:55 AM

In the morning before work. On and off during work. In the evenings.

I'm right there with you - If I don't check on a regular basis throughout the day I might miss something!!

Mortymts 10-29-2010 11:33 AM

It started off as part of my going to bed ritual. After hot tub time with my guy, then it's 15 minutes (or however long is needed!) on the QB. Then as I go to sleep I have lovely thoughts of projects that I want to tackle. Oh, and of course coffee break time at work....check-in during the day on the week-ends....and well you all get the idea.

auntmag 10-29-2010 11:51 AM

Same here.

Usually later in the evening...it's my relaxation time!

quiltnmom 10-29-2010 07:21 PM

My time is after dinner before I go to bed which seems to be getting later and later because I am adicted to this board. I even found myself with a slack moment or two and work and used by blackberry to get on here today. Can't use the work computer--that's a big no, no.

akgranny 10-29-2010 07:38 PM

i browse through after dinner, with a cup of tea. but sadly, only go through the first 2-3 pages of the day for each of the 3 categories -- main, pictures and chit-chat. then i read a coupla pages of the dear jane threads. haven't time for much more. i do enjoy this!

sew4fun 10-30-2010 02:57 AM

Like most I am on early in the morning. Once in a while at night.

Nanjun 10-30-2010 03:03 AM

Early morning is my time too. I have a cup of coffee and 3 oatmeal cookies while browsing QB.
