Awwww you're not a horrible excuse for not sewing lol! I like to sew but am not all that great at it. When my youngest daughter was born I wanted to make her a fleece snowsuit. Well...I did sort of, and maybe an inch was by machine? But the remainder was done by hand. I want to get into quilting though so maybe I'll learn more lol!

I love the hoop, because there's so many options for it. It can be as tight or loose as you want it. When I use needles I just seem to take forever and in the end just drop the project and sometimes come back to it later if kitty doesn't find it first.... Crochet I like too but it's the same for me. I run into it taking longer, missing counts and stuff, so it just ends up being a frustration.
