I do a lot of sewing with the kids. We are now making some cute potholders to raise money for Haiti.<br />Our youngest son raises hens and sell the eggs. Our daugther bakes bread and sell it. It keeps us very busy :-)<br />At night, we try to have family time together with dad.nabibiddihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02583612800220292881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-53757004553018397572010-01-21T06:39:11.624-07:002010-01-21T06:39:11.624-07:00Love the long arm!!

It's so nice reading this post and realizing you are a mom to a wee one about the same age as my youngest. I have 5 monsters, um munckins though. I also space sewing/cleaning/cooking with snuggles on the couch and computer time :)Julia Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11546608915593758922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-62354723657971569752010-01-21T05:20:42.945-07:002010-01-21T05:20:42.945-07:00As I said on Facebook I think it's great that ...As I said on Facebook I think it's great that you have a job you enjoy as not many people can say that. Having read this post though I would just add - make sure you're not missing out on the little one while you're working, they grow up so quickly and you'll regret not making the most of them, you can't get the time back, take care, Lis xxLis Harwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11700965811840448266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-70830423231752485762010-01-20T23:25:57.575-07:002010-01-20T23:25:57.575-07:00wow, busy busy!

He is so busy too, and he hates it when I sit at the computer. He is always telling me, mommy, close it! ( the laptop ) So now I find that the only time I can sew is during naptime. Any other time I am interacting with him, or sleeping because I've been interacting with him!fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936920691761912038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-53282928694036361812010-01-20T21:52:28.151-07:002010-01-20T21:52:28.151-07:00haha your funny!

I'm a visual person so that helped me out by putting pictures up so I can see how you do things and where Chesney is all the time. Believe me if I had a job like that it would be the same way. Except for my job is hair. I can only do hair though when I have a sitter and/or Sam is home to watch them. I'm sure Chesney is quite content chilling rather than my 2 ADHD children! :) ha ha at least you will die in comfort and warmness (if that's a word!)Sam & Sam Pontioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16735313417223024078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-86638637196248836772010-01-20T21:48:42.002-07:002010-01-20T21:48:42.002-07:00My sewing machine is permanently at the kitchen ta...My sewing machine is permanently at the kitchen table, too.<br /><br />My days... I get up and get one kid off to school, then come home and sometimes I exercise or write. <br /><br />At 11:30 I have to focus on getting my kindergartener ready to go, then drop him off by 12:25 or so. Then I come home and have 3 hours with just me and my toddler girl. She's started to move to just afternoon naps and I have to lay down with her to get that started. So I fit in my sewing and blogging and emailing in between. <br /><br />I have to go get the boys at 3:30 so my day is really divided into chunks divided by driving to the school. After school I help them with homework and focus on dinner... these days I don't have a lot of time for my sewing/blog work after school. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088213674978515287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-31871337005658464392010-01-20T21:16:24.116-07:002010-01-20T21:16:24.116-07:00When my kids were young, that was what my day was ...When my kids were young, that was what my day was like, and I am still alive;) The thing I remind myself, is to take a day once in a while, not to work or worry about things, you have to day off.<br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-27690728475028373952010-01-20T20:54:12.074-07:002010-01-20T20:54:12.074-07:00Are you asking for more emails to respond to?

We don't have a dining room yet but my sewing machine has it's own spot on my big kitchen table to!! I'm going to work to death to but maybe not quilting as a social worker. I wish I could quilt all day though! I have so many bolts of fabric & projects that i'm not sure if they will ever get done! Dreaming for a long arm as well but also to learn how to quilt the tops of my quilts on my own! Everything comes with time I guess. I've learned so much from your blog I love it!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189415146231481434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-84023165561076088232010-01-20T19:26:43.846-07:002010-01-20T19:26:43.846-07:00Wow Natalia you really do work hard!

Being that my longarm isn't at home, but in the quilt shop, I often have to stop what I'm doing to help customers, answer the phone, run to the bank, etc. I spend 5-12 hours per day on the longarm and anything that's leftover piecing/appliqueing/embellishing/etc. on my domestic, dreaming up or working on designs, cutting kits blogging (it's new) etc. I sleep about 4 hours a day. I'm a workaholic too so even if we do die early and have a warm and soft grave, we know we're not alone!<br />PS - I just found you so hello!Lisa Sipeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535205221573079908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-44516365937981404502010-01-20T18:28:05.723-07:002010-01-20T18:28:05.723-07:00HAH!

My husband also works for the same company but he has a set schedule. We haven't had a day off together in 2 months so it is hard to get together time.Carol Thttp://pleasantquilter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878598761175876556.post-90469314678979845122010-01-20T18:22:21.695-07:002010-01-20T18:22:21.695-07:00Long Arms have to make it so much easier!
