I play smile.fm radio while I work. You can stream it on your PC http://smile.fm/
Because I sometimes go go quilting bees to work on Miracle quilts, I have most of my stuff in a bin on wheels, so if I had a covered porch where it's nice, I certainly would haul my hiney outside to work. Stick my speakers in the windows, and I'm in my own little world.
Unfortunately my deck is an oven in the afternoon, so I hafta work inside.

I have a head full of ideas, a room full of fabric and plenty of time LOL but I find that there is always something else to be done.
For instance, I just finished cleaning the house and dinner is in the crock pot. I am now sitting out on the deck cause it is gorgeous out and I dont' want to be in the house. Not bringing my machine outside, it's too big and I am sure I would be jumping up and down a million times to run back in for all the things I need.
I really would like to know the secret :)
