Last night, I watched this thing on Animal Planet about carrier pigeons in WW2. I usually don't like war documentaries, but I thought it was pretty interesting.
Sewing machines make me crazy - they're noisy and they make my neck hurt and I can never get the tension to work right and when I finally do, I have to reload thread and it's off again....
So I sew by hand. I find it relaxing and quiet and I can watch TV or even read (depending on what I'm sewing). Takes a bit longer but keeps me (relatively) sane.
Sounds like deadlines and such as well. Luckily for me, all I ever sew are quilts (with a little mending here and there). Except for the one I'm feverishly working on now (for my daughter as a wedding gift - what WAS I thinking?), I don't have deadlines - I've been known to spend years on a quilt.
