I think I work best in short bursts too and have been trying to do a little frequently. I think I'd like to try to sew for 20 mins or more every day but haven't been so good at that. I will try though, because I am just loving sewing again. I forget how much I miss it :)Truly Myrtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546389402524629209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-66405573868977954382013-01-20T17:34:17.577-06:002013-01-20T17:34:17.577-06:00OOh I LOVE the colours you've used!

I have claimed the living room as my crafting area and I just leave everything set up in there -- we rarely have guests and the few who do come over already know we're a bit eccentric!<br /><br />Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674930108735903116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-5289249675893426582013-01-19T07:36:52.211-06:002013-01-19T07:36:52.211-06:00Funny - I think in general, sewing takes less pati...Funny - I think in general, sewing takes less patience than knitting!
