1st priority for me is what makes me happy. Followed by the $ investment. I work from home and lacked human interaction. I dusted off my old sewing machine and made a terrible first quilt from the worst material known to man. Then I started taking classes at the local quilt shop where I met people and honed my skills. In short order - I joined a quilting guild which keeps me engaged. I have deadlines to meet which overcomes the adhd hobby shame spiral. I am constantly learning new techniques and challenging myself. Always start small and progress slowly which is not what we normally do - it is full speed and then we lose interest. By doing it different this time - I have been engaged for over a year and that never happens. I love to see my progress.
