No clocks for me in the sewing room. I work 5 days a week so on the weekend I can do what I want. I have skylights in my sewing room, when it starts getting dark, I know that it is getting late, maybe time to go downstairs. Or, maybe not.

This may sound strange but i do NOT have a clock in the sewing room. That is one place i lose myself in and don't want to know what time it is. My husband is very good about letting me know if it's getting late. On the week-ends i love to go in there and do whatever for how ever long i'm in the mood. I don't even take my cell phone in there. I think i need a support group! :oops:

I have 2. One is a clock/radio that I keep plugged into the same power strip as the sewing machine. When I'm not sewing, I turn off the power strip (radio, machine, lamp, and iron) all go off. I got tired of resetting the clock 20 times a day, so it just flashes at me most of the time, or I push a button and it's always the wrong time. I finally hung a clock by the door that I took from the kitchen when we repainted. I don't wear a watch, but I do like to keep track of time. I'll forget to start supper or laundry if I don't keep track.

Sounds good :-D but farmers like to eat 3 times a day ON time. Sometimes it is a pot of soup or oven dish, when I'm too engrossed in sewing... "Help yourself! It's on the stove!" :mrgreen:

I do have a clock in my sewing room, although I have a pretty good built in clock in my head. The only time I look at it, is when it is 2 or 3 oclock in the morning and I know I should go to bed!

Yup, I've got a clock with a timer that I use in my sewing room. If I didn't set the timer I'd never come out and I'd forget to do things like pick the kids up from school or make dinner!

Oh yes. I have one to see how long I am at it. I like to see when I have worked for several hours. It also helps me to remember to take a break from time to time. Even when things are going well, and I do not have an achy back, I feel it is a good idea to get out of that chair and move around. The clock helps me do that.
