I noticed you just joined us today. Welcome! Glad you've set aside time to make quilting a priority. Joanne |
I work full time and never had time or energy to do much of anything else, and then I found the FlyLady. She is a wonderful real person who teaches you how to get organized and keep yourself that way. She has put together an entire community of support people. Lots of great ways to get things done and find more free time to do the things you love to do. Hey her system even helped me to organize my sewing room. It isn't perfect, but it is getting there. Her website is completely free and worth taking a look at. You can find her at www.Flylady.com.

Joannes i've never bought and used crockpot liners but a friend of mine has and it was kinda like a big clear plastic bag stuck down in the crockpot and the food stuff put in the bag.

I would make time to sew. I also have hubby to his share of home care as I am not a cookie cutter homemaker "June Cleaver" type. We both live in this home and we both do our share. We're coming up on 37 years of marriage. If he cooks I clean dishes, we each have our little duties to do. Hubby also realizes I must have sewing time just as he must have his fishing time. When our son a kid, he had his chores to do. when I was growing up my sisters and brothers had their chores too, parents couldn't do it all. Hope this helps you.

I agree with the lady who said you'll have time in the future. I raised four kids, worked outside our home and attended college part time. Life was difficult and hectic. There was never a moment just for me, nevermind quilting or sewing. Now though, it's all different. I'm retired, my kids have kids, and my time is my own. What I need, or could use, is a little more money to spend on fabric. But then, there could never be enough money for all the fabric I'd like to buy. All I can say to the younger women who have no time for themselves is, YOUR DAY WILL COME! 8) :lol:

I teach sewing and quilting three days a week, have a new 1st grandchild but quilting is my love. I sew every chance I get. I also keep projects going all the time. If I have a few minutes here and there, I'm sewing. I never watch TV so I have lots of time that others use on TV. I just finished my daughter-in- law's wedding dress, 3 bridesmaids dresses, flower girl's dress, all since Jan. along with at least five quilts. You can make the time. Of course my house is not spotless but my husband doesn't mind as long as it is somewhat clean. :lol:

LOL. When I make time for quilting the cooking, cleaning and laundry suffer and the children wander over to the neighbor's house!
