Working time

For me it's always different, but I do like lampworking at night a lot. It's dark so I can see my flame, no one calls or knocks at the door, and I tend to have more energy at night. :)

I have to agree with the after 11pm but I usually get sleepy around 4am. So my time is 11pm-4am

I used to do my best work late afternoon into evenings. That's when I seem to have more ideas. I'm NOT a morning person. Unfortunately, I can't work here, right now, when I really want to. Not enough light on the porch at night, don't wanna freak the neighbors with torchlight (since I should't be doing this on the porch to begin with). So I work during the day whether I want to or not.

I work best in the evenings from 6pm until 2-4am.

I get revved up between 6:30 pm and 1 am, and my pain abates as much as it ever does. Unfortunately, I have household demands at that time, and so I never can get any jewelry/art/work done. And toward the end of that time period, I'm so damn tired physically from doing stuff (the fibro does that to me easily) that I just give up. Walk the dog and hit the hay. I wish I could just go into the studio and putter, with someone else making dinner, setting the table, and doing doggie stuff, but it is not to be. I made my choices! Don't be sad or feel sorry, I am very happy, just a little frustrated about it sometimes. I'm figuring out ways to get stuff done -- (I think)

I am. Definitely. I feel more joy, exhilaration, and inspiration in the mornings. I used to do my best work then. But mornings now are a struggle with extreme pain, and it takes me all day to regain mastery over it to the point where I can get anything done!

I'm a night owl, definitely. I usually start projects around 9:00-10:00 p.m., and sit up until 2:30-3:00 a.m.

Friday nights have become my favorite for beadworking - 10:00 p.m. to

Cheers, Carla

I, too, and an 11 PM - 6 AM person. Sometimes, I will start working about 8 PM, but the really good stuff never happens until later. LOL!

Is there nothing that helps the pain?

Shocking - those are almost exactly the same hours I have whatever energy I'm going to get. Suckily, my left hand is giving me so much trouble that I can't bead. And I know about that total whipped exhaustion at the end of the "day."

Who? LOL

I think I do best mid-morning, late afternoon and early evening. The later it gets the foggier my brain gets.

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from snipped-for-privacy@aol.com (Mothwoman) :

]So that made me wonder when everyone else likes to work, or feels like they do ]their best work. Or is it different every day?

i do my best between 10pm and 2am. always have.

I work when I can. My projects are always sitting on my table, so if the kids are engrossed in something, I'm sitting there, working. However, I do tend to di my best work in the wee hours of the morning, and occassionally around mid morning. Also, the quality of my work is a direct reflection of the cleanliness of my house--if my house is trashed, my work sucks, because I'm distracted by it.

Piggy backing, since I didn't get the original post.

I also like working at night, especially now that we have dark again. The dark isolates me in the glow of the light -- just me and my work. I also like working when the rest of the household is asleep, to cut down on distraction, to keep from loosing my creative train of thought.

The reality, since I like sleeping with my husband, is that I do most of my work late morning until it's time to cook dinner. I usually go brain dead after that.

That would be me, as well. Or it used to be. It's slightly earlier now, more like 9 pm to midnight.
