Can I be a day owl then? (You know, standing around, blinking a lot, and
looking generally out of it??) *grin*

These days I need to snatch any minute I can. When I lived alone, I'd
have at least an hour in the evening after supper and on Sunday
afternoons. Today I'm home alone and had a whole 3 hours to quilt.
I've finally finished piecing all the blocks for my top. Just need to
put them together now, and do the appliqué.

Morning person -- After getting family out of the house, walking the dog,
giving the house cleaning chores a lick and a promise, then reading this ng ,
I get to quilt from late morning to late afternoon. Window faces south west,
so lately the late afternoon is brilliant. Evenings in front of TV I can do
"mindless" hand work -- no quilting, but binding counts as mindless, as does
knitting. Anything to keep me away from the Oreo cookies ...

Hmmmmm regular I reckon I'm a nightie. Once the kidlets are a-bed I bring
the coffee and "snackies" onto the cat pole next to my recliner, whack the
old footrest out, stable table on my knee and start a sewing. Although
that's not to say I won't sew during the day if'n the kids are enthralled
with the computer then I'm known to put in a stitch or two.

I try to spend some time quilting each evening, after I get home from
the gym. I'm not always productive, as I tend to nod off over my hand
quilting. On the weekends, I tend to quilt in the early am and late
afternoon.

This is similar to my schedule when I'm not working -- though I'm not
going to work after December. I get my housework chores done first
thing (I hate them, so I have to do them first in order to get them done
at all g) and then quilt after I've read the NG and my email. If I'm
working, I squeeze in the quilting wherever I can.

I like that Idea. I will have to try it some time... could save a few
cuts and pokes if I take this advise.

I used to have a nice little program going for myself, sew in the
morning, paint in the afternoon, do everything else in between and in
the evenings.
Nowdays, I seem to be everywhere at once doing everything I want to do
in the cracks in between all the gottas.

Most often I am finding myself doing all my assorted sewing between
2:00 and 6:00 in the morning.

sleep? You mean I'm supposed to sleep too?

Mornings mostly. As soon as the coffee kicks in. Evenings are out except
for a bit of hand sewing in front of the TV, I'm pretty much asleep in the
chair by 10 or 11 at night.
