I am retired now but easily remember all the years of working, going to school, raising a family, etc., that there were just not enough hours in the day to get everything done, let alone time to quilt. Be very patient with yourself and do what you can and let it go. I still go through slumps, but no longer do I worry about it because I know I will always return to quilting.

She said "this is one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me". I guess I needed to hear that and it gave me a fresh perspective. Think I'll start a new project tomorrow.

It's hard when you work. I get so torn with the few hours I have to myself when I'm off. Play with the hounds, read, sew. Then reality hits and I'm shopping for groceries, cleaning house, doing yard work, cooking. Don't get me wrong, Glenn helps with laundry and cleaning but there never seems to be enough time to sew. I did squeeze in a class yesterday to learn how to make pajama pants and hopefully I'll get time to work on a friend's quilt this afternoon but it's not easy and I often feel I should be doing something else when I steal time for sewing. Sometimes you just have to let go of all the have toos and do what you need to do for yourself.
