You are so right Sarah Liz!!! Sometimes the 'time for me' gets bumped to the bottom of the list of my own doing. You are such a kind encourager. Thank you.

What is kind of funny, is that I 'usually' stock up on things like threads and such and was actually shocked my spools were threadbare with no more stashed away.

We both do put an awful lot of pressure on ourselves to always be 'doing' and 'producing' no matter what the project might be. Why are we that way?!!! I need to focus some of that 'pressure' on my poor garment sewing time.

I keep thinking that the month of November should be a one in which I have oodles of time to do everything I want. (Faulty thinking?) I guess we're all in the same crowded boat.

No bathroom remodel although we currently have the feed/garden/tool room torn completely apart trying to build shelves and rearrange in there. The rest of your November list sounds very familiar, but I'm going to take a lesson from you and pare back on my expectations of myself.
