    We love clocks and have them all over the house. A lot of them are decorative. We especially love the antique clock that was a wedding present when his grandparents got married. I don't pay that much attention to the time, but like how they look. Yes, I do have a clock in my sewing room. It has a picture of a sewing machine, with fabric, thread, and sewing notions. It says "Happy Stitching...Quilting makes me Happy" It's so busy it is hard to even tell what time it is. But it makes me smile.

    But clocks are good for me....how else would I know when it is time to go to bed!

    No clock in my sewing room. I know that it is time to quit when the dogs get me that is the only clock that I need in there!

    :lol: :lol: :lol: I agree with you. Let's all go on stike. No cooking, no cleaning, no working (I can say this because I'm retired). I have one clock by my bed and one watch and the clock on my computer. I don't look at them very often because I get so engrossed in what I'm doing (quilting, kniting, petie point and being on the QB).

    Also loved and totally agreed with the person who talked about being bored during sex. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    I do have a clock, but forget to look at it sometimes. I set the timer on my range, especially if I have to do something or be somewhere at a specific time. It works for me.

    Oh my gosh, the time absolutely flies while I'm quilting. I have a little kitchen timer with a clock. It worked terribly as a timer, but it's a good clock.

    Nope, no clocks. I don't even pay attenion to what day it is. I ask hubby if I am curious to know lol. I forgot our anniversary of 39 years two day ago lol. He is used to it hahahahah....I guess I have an inner clock but I don't care. I live in Florida and if I am going to cook on that day I usually do it in the morning and then I don't have to worry about it. I cook several things for a few days and I am done...hubby takes care of the other things and I go to quilt heaven ....

    I have a clock in every room. My favorite is the "Atomic Clock" that time is set by satellite, and you never have to worry about DST.

    I have a clock I ordered online that has a quilt basket pattern on the face but it's got a black round frame. I think I'll spray paint it when I unpack it.

    It helps me know that it's really 4 AM and I should get to bed when I'm in there. :D
