Count me in with the 'cut out several projects at once' crowd! But my biggest thing is The Television. I MUST have my cable tv, or a movie, or something. The radio just doesn't do it for me - I have to have the tv. This is why my 'sewing room' is in the middle of the living room, because I can't afford to have cable in two rooms, and I can't afford to *not* have tv in the main part of my apartment! And I also kick off my slippers, but under the sewing table. I slip them back on before walking anywhere, because of the possibility of lost pins. NOBODY is allowed to walk barefoot in my apartment. Ever.

My first sewing project was an apron. I remember it well. My mother chose navy blue small-check gingham as a way to teach me how to make even stitches, and we made matching mother-daughter aprons. I was four years old.
I still have the wicker sewing basket that she gave me at the time, too. It's much the worse for wear now, so it sits in a corner gathering dust and reviving memories.
