In my mind, I have a leisurely but productive day. I wake up at a reasonable time and settle down to stitch after eating breakfast. I stitch for a couple of hours, then work at my computer in the afternoon. After eating dinner I settle down to watch TV and stitch.
Doesn’t that sound nice?
The reality is different.
I eat meals, except dinner, at my desk (if I eat them). I spends most of the day at the computer, writing, creating classes and ebooks, answering email, updating my news site (on Sulia) or this blog. I look for modelstitchers, check people’s work and make diagrams and charts. IT’s all needlepoint but it isn’t stitching. I do eat dinner and settle down to stitch both before and after that meal.
On good days I can stitch 3-4 hours. On bad ones it may only be half an hour or so.
Such is the life of a solo entrepreneur.
