    Default What do you do for a break?

    I have been taking a break this summer from quilting while I had my GD here for 4 weeks. I made her 4 outfits for school and we did craft projects and played games on the WII and watched movies. After she went home I decided to make myself some fall clothes. Got one blouse made and the church asked me to paint 3 pictures for the new nursery. One is now at Hobby Lobby's getting framed and I'm taking a break from the second one. It's a baby wearing a cowboy hat, asleep, naked on his/her stomach on a blanket. I thought I would never get the nose r ight! SO I needed a break - did the laundry, cleaned a toilet, mopped a floor, read everything on QB. Need to paint. SO I can finish sewing , so I can start quilting. What do you do when you need to take a break?

    Not much. Play on here. Read a bunch. Nap. Go riding up and down country byways - although less so now that gas is out the whazoo. Design quilts and patterns. I have very limited funds for get-aways so I'm 99% close to home most of the time these days.

    Your break sounds lovely with grands there!

    I haven't taken much a break. I work full time, play on computer when work is done, come home, sometimes cook supper, do some chores, sew a couple hours, play on computer, mostly get on QB. On weekends I do housework,sew and laundry. I like to be doing something all the time. Only time I watch TV is if I can't sleep at night.
