Quote from husband, "You stayed up how late downloading embroidery designs? There's something funny going on with you and embroidery designs." ;)

Like Linda I gave my house to the dustbunnies ;o)
That design is one of my favorites...

I think your English is wonderful.

ALice, your english is perfect! I also never sleep 8hours a night but still have not enough time to use all the designs I'm collecting and buying :o) Lucky you that your son is dl for you.
That parallel with the screws remind me on my time at the ikea-kitchenplaning. Many men said they don't need a dishwasher cause for that they have their wives! When you ask how many tools they have and how often they use them they were very silent at once ;o)
Greetings, Bettina
PS: Love your avatar. Felix has a cute shirt with barbabeau.

I do not stay up late at night, go to bed early, but i spent must of my mornign and afternoon in front of my computer or the embroidery machine, I really enjoying my retirement!!!!!

Ive always been told im not normal cos I only sleep 2 to three hours every night now im thinking I am its everyone else that aint look hour many sewing hors they waste and download time realy girls yor sleeping half your life away lol

I think husbands are fighting a loosing battle. My husband brought me a paper clipping the other day, and it said "Men are losing out to computers" I have the whole clipping pinned to my wall. He also wonders: What are you going to do with all of these designs, you will never use them all !!!!!! My answer? I do not sit in front of T.V. all day, and like sitting in front of computer (between working), so we are quits. That stopped some of the moaning ha, ha
Hugs and God bless

Thank Heavens I am not the only one.

Since starting embroidery my days have become night and I sleep all day, it's the only way I don't feel guilty sitting at the computer when I should be doing house work. LOLOLOL!!!!

I blame it on the after effects of cancer and chemo, I don't want to go to bed in case I miss something, but then once I go to sleep I can't wake up!!!!

HELP!!!!!!

Yes! Isn't it great! Some place safe to go/be, when you can't sleep.
From Bev

Where have I heard this before???

Well this addiction keeps us off the streets. It's like the time I wanted to get some more threads & my hubby said "why have you used all that other lot?"

I don't have to worry about a husband, but my dog starts sticking her wet nose in my face between 11 and 12 pm and forces me to retire. Otherwise I would probably keep on going and going.

Same to me ;o) I learned to live with 3hours-sleep and it helps!
Found this pic once here and I love it. So true and it doesn't snore when you go to bed *lol*
Greetings, Bettina (it's 5.50am and I have now just 1hour for sleeping so I have to hurry to my bed...)

Bettina that is not good for your health. I don't want to sound like a mother but you need sleep. Please take care of yourself.

Bettina - I hope you are listening. 3 hrs is not enough sleep, especially if you have young children. Huhs Sarah.

Thank you for your care but I'm always a nightowl (never was a late-riser; give me 8hours of sleep and I'm a lazy and grumpy and you would never do that fault ;o). When I made my apprenticeship as confectioner in a bakery I start at 3.30am and most of the time I came straight from my favorite club downtown; good old times *lol*
Most of the time I get 4-5hours (often not in one part) but for me that's enough. Today I will be a little bit tired but I hope that I can sleep about 2 hours when Felix is in the kindergarten (otherwise I have customerorders...).
Greetings, Bettina

My daughter's answers to things, "That sounds like a problem." Sometimes I think we stay on the internet thinking it may not be there tomorrow. We are so fortunate to have all this amazing information available to us at our fingertips. Sleep is overrated. lol

lol i have heard this many times !!!carolyn

That just might be the best part about *not* currently having a husband or live-in partner! A useful saying comes to mind:
"Ask no questions, and be told no lies!"

I make it point to never tell him! Since I use a laptop, sometimes I just tell him I fell asleep with it on my lap. Another one of my life rules is never tell him any more than he absolutely has to know!

i know what you mean i was going to bed about 11pm went to lock the back door and thought i will have a look at a few things ( we have a studio outside with computer and home offie) my head touched the pillow at almost 2 am yes i am an addict.......soozie

what he doesn't know won't hurt him....especially here......have fun....I do......

I think I have heard this!!

Men are so precious!

Funny! Thanks for sharing!

Did you actually tell him how late it really was? Mine would have a fit if he knew what all I do on here. But then, it does keep me out of trouble. Well, most of the time.

EDA...Embroidery Designs Anonymous....I think we would have alot of members..lol

by sewbadly 04 May 2011
