Me too, I have my sewing machine, sewing, design wall, little flat screen, music and Dh bought me a really nice little glider with footstool. So I sew a little, put my feet up watch tv, check the quilt board and watch tv, sew just a little more, get on quilt chat and watch tv, read for a while and listen to music and then get out of my glider and go to bed.
Oh, sometimes I leave for food and drink. LOL
So you can tell don't get a lot of sewing done, but think about it all the time.

Slow to moderate, get sidetracked if not careful, if watching a TV show sometimes stop for it then zoom zoom when commercial comes on.
Really get off base if family 'needs' me or tries to talk to me. Can't they just leave me alone? One of these days I will have my own sewing room with a door that locks, a fridge for cold drinks, microwave for hot drinks, and a potty. Oh, and a sofa to nap on. :roll: I can dream.

oh wow, I don't feel so bad!! Some days I get all the ducks in a row and projects done. Then the ADD kicks in and I put squares together, cut other shapes out, cut out a shirt pattern, finish those oven mitts, cut and sew HST's rearrange my fabric, think about rearranging the shelves, pull out half the stuff, change my mind and put it all back. How bad is that???

Let's just say that my Home Economics teacher once threatened to put a govenor on my machine to slow me down......lol. Depends I guess on what I am sewing. I've been known to make my Singer 1030 (portable) start bouncing on the table and have to slow down. Yeah....call me Speedy!

I'm a slowwwww sewer. I get stuck on the miniscule. For example I ripped out and reset points on a crumb quilt I making. (They match perfectly!)It's not that I'm point crazy, I have another top where the points don't match, but it'll probably not be noticed so it only bugs me a little.
Plus I just seem to slow anyway. I did a quilt a couple of months ago that the writer claimed she had completed the quilt in a few hours. It took me days.
