Traditionally, certain "women's chores" were assigned a day of the week. You might be stitching a set of dish towels (I have a set my mother embroidered) or making a "sampler" of a cute kitty doing the chores, and so on.

Here is a list of the "traditional" chores.

• Monday - Washing
• Tuesday - Ironing
• Wednesday - Mending
• Thursday - Marketing
• Friday - Baking
• Saturday - Cleaning
• Sunday - Day of Rest

Here is a revised list of "chores" appropriate for a stitcher.

• Monday - Wash completed projects
• Tuesday - Press completed projects
• Wednesday - Finish UFOs
• Thursday - Shop for additions to the stash
• Friday - Bake brownies for stitch-in
• Saturday - Clear stuff off table and chairs to make room for a stitch-in with friends
• Sunday - Spend a restful day stitching with friends
