I attend "sewing night" every Monday at my friend's house. She has a bed & breakfast, so she has two very large tables in her adjoining dining rooms with lots of room to spread out projects. She is usually working on an 1860s dress or trimming a bonnet. Others work on period clothing, crocheting, quilting, or whatever. I usually bring some bobbin lace or tatting. Sometimes we come with no project, just for fellowship. Wendy always makes a pot of tea, and depending on the need, a splash of bourbon for the tea! Sometimes there are only two, sometimes 10. I've gotten more accomplished since I have at least one night set aside to work on projects.
I also leave a pillow set up next to my chair in the living room and can work even for 10 or 15 minutes while I'm waiting for something or at lunch time. It's amazing what can get accomplished in those small bits of time. I have requested some books from the IOLI library for the first time ever. (Been a member for quite a few years, too.) I'm anxiously awaiting some new lace reading material!
