I have always worked at least 32 hours a week, with husband and 2 daughters. I got up an hour earlier each morning and spent the time in my sewing room. Usually I worked on a piece of applique, sometimes I would just watch the news and read. Both daughters were active in sports and applique is a great 'take long' project to work on. I also take my projects when traveling, it a good way to pass time in airports or riding as a passenger in a vehicle.
