Hausfrau's Tip on How to Make Time to Stitch

By Connie G. Barwick, About.com

Hausfrau shares how she has found time for her stitching, even during times of adversity. She writes, "When I rode the bus to and from work (at least a half-hour each way), I would use that time to stitch and would get SO much accomplished. Also, I always take a project when traveling by plane and get a lot done while waiting in the airport as well. And when my hubby was very, very ill and in ICU and the hospital and care centers many times over the last few years, all he wanted was for my company, so that when he woke up, he would see me there. I did a lot of stitching (and knitting, too) and even finished several projects (that I had begun when he was there). I received lots of compliments on my work and the progress and even got some people interested in learning, too."
