Quilting...A Hazardous Hobby?
#1
Time as we know it does not exist to quilters. Have you ever noticed that when you're working on a special "project" that the dishes seem to multipy by themselves, the vacumn cleaner gets all kinds of dust on it, that pile of laundry that you thought you did reappears! How many times have you said to the family "we'll just have soup and sandwiches for dinner"
And my favorite is when you look at the clock and think "gee, i forgot i need sleep". How about the times when you buy that special fabric that you just have to have for that special quilt you have yet to design and say " oh well, i'll buy groceries next week". We still have soup left! And oh yes...you look in the mirror when your jeans are a little too tight and think..wow that dryer shrunk them again! It can't be that chair i've been sitting in for hours on end! So what do you think...hazardous or just plain addicting??? LOL

Yes, it is addictive. Luckily I live alone except for my 2 wonderful dogs. They remind me when I have been in the basement too long, when it is mealtime, and when it is pottytime. Otherwise I probably wouldn't eat or do any of the other necessary things. Of course I don't get as much accomplished as I would like, for the interrruptions. When I go back down to sew I have to think what I was doing when I stopped. And I usually end up going to something else. Too many things going at once.
