How much DO you actually stitch and how much time do you spend
thinking about it ;)?

I usually get about an hour a day in - which makes some of those big
projects slow going! Car trips, swim meets and baseball games may add
another hour.

I spend A LOT of time thinking about it and looking at stash to
acquire!

Hi there !!

I'm retired, (lucky me) and probably spend an average of 2-3 hours a
day stitching. I love the process of picking out a new project and
spend most of a days stitching worth doing that. It seems to me that
picking out the next project requires reviewing ALL the possibilities
every time. I love this hobby!!

I get in about an hour a day after the kids are in bed. I find I need
the change of pace after chasing children and doing housework all day.
It's a good way to unwind, and then I don't snack in front of the
TV :)! I do find, when I'm starting a new project, that I take out all
my patterns and magazines and spend an evening or two flipping
throught them to see what I feel like doing next. I also find a need
to take a day or two between finishing one project and starting
another. I also have found that large projects take a long time this
way, but I love being able to make something nice, whether it's a tea
trivet or a sampler. Both my little ones like to watch me work, and
they like to look at my magazine when it comes every month. The older
one is doing his first little project, and the younger one is learning
colours from my floss box. It's a great hobby to share.
