Can you believe it? Told me "if I see you do one more stitch...(insert unspoken threat here)...
Of course, there is a reason he issued this "order".
In the past week I have done nothing but sew until I drop, quite literally. 3 different nights I didn't go to bed until 3 or 4 am, and I have to get up for work no later than 6:30. Needless to say, I'm not getting much sleep.
So, he probably is correct to issue his "order", but dang it...I just want to sew & get the Christmas gifts done!

Moderation is fine, but it seems like a joke this week. There's only pedal to the metal for many of us trying to get ready for the big day.
Remember, if you can't finish a project, we still have Christmas. And you can give a gift certificate entitling the bearer to one finished quilt-- in January. It's a darn cold month, too!

LOL - Yes he does care, that's why he said something. I just got a kick out of how he made it sound like an "order". Like I'm going to pay any attention? lol
Not to worry, the big projects are done, so I will cut back & cruise through the rest of them (fleece scarves) without the long hours I put into the quilts.

Sounds like a totally reasonable solution.
Merry Christmas and Blessings for the coming New Year.
If on THE day, you are too exhausted to be good company and enjoy your family and friends, then what have you actually accomplished?
Relax! <wave>

I just throw it back at him, I am a "T.V widow, and twice a year, a farm widow". It usually keeps him quiet.
