    I always have bottled water, the pressing makes me thirsty. I keep a top on it, tightened.

    I usually have a tea, but it's normally stone cold by the time I remember it. I also try to keep my beverage away from my fabric...which is typically why I forget it. I generally forget to eat too. *growl* speaking of which...

    I have to have something to sip on when sewing. For some reason it makes me really dry. I have water all day at work too.

    Yep - loving my fermented grape juice. A few glasses of wine relax me. But any more than two and the seams take on a life of their own. lol Key is to remember that redwine stains so being careful is a must!

    Coffee, coffee, and coffee...but NOT in the sewing/computer room (DH had an accident once and that was the end of that!)

    Love my fermented grape juice on occasion, but just one or I am sound asleep.

    Once, several years ago, me and a bottle of wine stayed up all night making a miniature log cabin quilt. After finishing it (and the wine) I went to bed delighted with the result. Got up next morning and just couldn't understand why the finished article didn't look so good as it had the night before :roll: . I still have that quilt and it makes me smile everytime I look at it. It sits in the corner of my sewing room and serves as a gentle reminder!! :oops:

    I use my sewing room as a break from hubby and kids, so if the kids are upstairs and my husband is downstairs reloading his ammo, I will occasionally have one drink, but since that is totally my limit, my judgement is not impaired.
