I do squeeze in a few sewing hrs when they are not here but I agree with you that there is not enough hours in the day for our sewing/crafting hobby. Bottom line is that my granddaughters are in a safe place thank goodness and I can sew when time allows.

I still teach, I work 3 part time days at a fabric shop and I volunteer at a seniors shoppe. None of these were planned, they all sort of just happened. Add this to the selling I do online and various commission jobs (mostly for gnome homes and witches/fairy custom houses) and there truly are not enough hours in a day. I thank God I am able to still do these things, but, I am now looking forward to my next attempt at retirement......But. I think this is the nature of creative people. We have so many things in our heads that we want to make.
