I managed to find at least 15 minutes to sew on 4 of the last 7 days. The middle of the week still seems to be my downfall. I can usually manage to carry the momentum from the weekend into Monday, but then usually struggle the next 3 nights to make it back into the sewing room. To expect to sew 7 days each week is really unrealistic based on my schedule, so I may have to set my goals a little lower. I seem to average about 5 days a week. That may be as good as it's going to get while I'm working full time and have a teenager at home.
How well are you doing at meeting your expectations regarding your sewing/crafting time? What are your biggest barriers to finding time to stitch a bit? Link up and share how your last week went.

When you put it like that it seems like it's Christmas already. Well, I guess it must be because I have two parties this week, two next week (one I won't make) and more to come after that. Nice week. Hope you get less behinder this week.
My work schedule is also a big hindrance to my sewing time these days. Any time my work hours have to shift, I usually lose out on that day at the machine. That and kiddo's after school activities. Thankfully holiday break is coming up soon for both her and I!
I don't work full time, but I have two littles at home, one in school, and one on the way. My biggest hang up is being so tired that I read on the web rather than tuck up to my sewing machine.
Making a ShORT to do list seems to help, though, as I like to check tasks off each day!
Hahaha! It cracks me up that I love these reports because I can't wait to see what background you've used for them. Love this poinsettia one!! :)
I think five days a week is a good goal! Life is busy, especially in the holiday season.
Luckily for me work has quietened down now. Have to admit being really tired though and I will be glad for 2 weeks of nothing once Xmas gets here. I don't have any more shop deadlines which will slow my momentum down now though.
Missed this weeks link up but I did keep up the challenge just don't have any pictures to show because it is all secret stuff and haven't had time on the computer. Its 5.30 am and I am supposed to be doing some study lol. Hopefully next week will be a bit more normal and I will get back to a post.
I planned for tomorrow to be a crazy sewing day but Little P is popping over tonight for a sleep over so I think thats going to rule out any crazy sewing plans I have !
It's been a sewing desert here lately....
Don't beat yourself up over it -- it's a busy (and tiring) time of year!
