Life gets in the way of sewing

​It is nearly 9 pm, another night I will not get to my sewing room.  All week I have been going to meetings, cooking, working in the garden, numerous things that have not allowed me to do what is a necessary part of my well being.  Maybe not necessary for many people, but at least 30 minutes or more a night of running a needle and thread through fabric calms me down from the scurry of the day.  If I don't get to do that I don't really feel calm before I go to bed.  Unless you are an avid sewist you probably will have no idea what I am talking about.
 
To be honest, most of the time it doesn't even matter what I am sewing on.  It could be intricate or simple.  I have been making blocks that I cut from the Go! Big machine lately.  I absolutely love making these blocks because they go so fast using this cutting method.  They fit perfectly every time, I keep thinking something won't fit right but so far every single block is perfect. 
​
My best friend likes to sew in the early morning.  When is your favorite time to sew?  What is your favorite project to sew on when you just want to get into the Zen of sewing?
 
Below are some of the 6" blocks I cut from the Go! cutter.  My blocks go together so quickly without needing to draw a line from corner to corner and no need to clip dog ears!  Although it comes in many sizes, I personally love the tiny blocks.
