Get up - feed the critters (dogs, turtle, chickens) do chores - then I make a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee - and sit down to read the Board. Can't start my day without it. By that time I am guilt free and can jump into quilting.

Perhaps it is partly dependent upon where we are on the time line of life. I did not even begin seriously to quilt until after I had retired from my regular job. I used to spend a lot of time reading, but find I use most of that time now to be at the sewing machine.

There is a live in maid, cook, driver/go for, the pets' sitter and grounds keeper. NOT, NOT only in my wishes.
Right now, have almost an empty nest, own "boss" but I keep active. A member of four groups which are all focused on quilting. What else LOL the QB, guild, charity and a faith/spiritual group.
It also helps to be an insomniac. No secrets just lots of me time, of course with all of the -s & +s. Just try to keep the energy level up and positive most of the time.

This is going to be one of my new year's "resolutions" - spend more time at the sewing machine! I work full time and do almost all the work around the house, but I have to prioritize! and quilt making is moving UP the ladder this year.
