I'm sure you've created some very lovely quilts and sewing projects! Mrs. Micah,

It's not good to go to the other extreme either... (even though sometimes it's fun)! ;) Lynnae,

It was a nice mix. When I'm sewing and such, I often have a hard time making myself take a break. I've been known to sew for 6 hours with nothing but the occasional bathroom breaks. Sometimes I won't let myself use the bathroom unless I finish this part...it's bad. But I also really enjoy being in the compulsive flow of a sewing project, so it's not all bad. I just have to learn to break up the compulsion at least every few hours.

LOL I'm glad you're finding the benefit of a good break! The problem comes when your break time is bigger than your productive time, which is my tendency. LOL
