I have a (rare) weekend day off this week, and I want to spend a big chunk of time sewing on Saturday. I have spent the odd hour here and there this week getting things ready so I can be as efficient as possible. I have all the prints cut for a throw-sized quilt (my favorite size to make); just the background needs to be cut. Tomorrow evening I'll get that cut and hopefully get my quick-piecing shortcuts marked and set up, ready to go.
My leisure time is so limited right now that I will forego my usual audio book while I am sewing and think about what I want to do for fun on my next free day! I have this quilt-in-progress, and an old languishing UFO that's nearly done to finish as well. Plus, now that the weather has warmed up, I need a few hard cleaning hours in the (unheated) studio so I can move out of the dining room and back into my real workspace.
I'll also think about a meal plan for the coming week and make a grocery list, and make a (short) list of other around-the-house projects I want to finish in the next couple of weeks. I've become pretty good at being efficient with my time at home, and I'm proud of that.
How do you manage your time off? Are you frantically busy every minute, or do you take it easy, kick back and watch the world turn? Are you a planner, a plan-to-be-a-planner, or completely spontaneous? And how tidy do you keep your workspace? I think mine qualifies me for a reality show.
Have a great day, kiddoes!
