I could have written your post except that my DH is semi-retired and does most of the cooking and the dishes. I took last Sunday to sew as much as I wanted and it was great. I kept asking myself why I don't do this more often. So...I plan to whenever I can. It's harder to do after a day at work, but I've been working on a redwork project after supper. As someone mentioned, this lets me keep the hubby company after I've been gone all day. My new resolution is to shoot for two whole sewing days a month at the least. I think that's doable.
