I sew in a corner of my bedroom, right next to the dresser that has a TV on it. When not subbing, my most favorite time to sew is at 10:00 am while the View is on TV. The Ellen Show used to come on right after the View and those were my two happiest hours for sewing, but now it's just the View that I really like and then I usually switch to a news channel for a second hour before reality calls. So, I sew, smile, get my creative juices flowing, tap into my mojo, satisfy my authentic self, AND listen to the gals at the View.
Good Luck! Boa Sorte! Buenos Suerte! Buona Fortuna! Bonne Chance! 頑張って! Powodzeniza!
I listen to music while I quilt. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely great and fun giveaway. "Santa, define naughty" - teehee.
ReplyDeleteI am not a quilter (yet) - I've only been sewing for a few months. I do tend to put off all other stimuli though and just listen to my little Elna sing while she's working. The occasional colourful word does come into the mix though - today she broke 4 needles. Not a good zipper day at all - so we're having some 'seperate space' time. The relationships we need to form with our wesing hardware :)
Thank you for a great giveaway and a chance to win.

ReplyDeleteI like to sew alone with my thoughts. I began quilting a year ago, shortly after my youngest son passed away. I needed something to do to keep my hands and mind busy.

I stitch a Hug into the corner of every quilt I make because he gave the most amazing hugs.
