I'm a real homebody and that helps a lot with time to quilt. I don't like to shop and my husband does. He likes to ge somewhere most every day and happily goes to the grocery store. He is quite good at it but does come home with extras that I would never buy-but it worth the cost. I have a 'homemaking' schedule because I know things will be put off until 'tomorrow' if I don't do them first. I cook in large quantities and package 3/4 of it for the freezer-thus I can coast on a lot of days. I do like homemaking tasks but I like to sew more.
