I'm an attorney by day also, and I'm fascinated by all types of historical
clothing myself--so long as it's pre-20th century. :-)
I'm a web developer, computer usabilty/accessibilty person by day,
costumer/researcher by evening/weekend. I do enjoy my job but it's not
a passion, and it pays for the fabric :P
I am curious how those of you who do serious construction and research
find the time for your hobbies. I'm finding that in my own life I have
to strictly set aside time and push myself because after 40 hours in
the office sometimes I don't want to do *anything* when I get home,
and counting on "in my free time I'll do x" just doesn't cut it.
How do you find the time, energy, and motivation?
