Retired and enjoying it! Tho' I do like to keep busy ...... Sewing I have done off and on for many years. Love all the bright colored fabrics that are out there and the fun novelty prints. Machine embroidery I have been doing for the past 11 years and I have fun looking at all the designs that are available. Always like to try different types of items to make so you will see purses, gift bags, tie baskets, place mats, pillowcases, tissue/toilet paper covers,sock monkey dolls and more as I go along.
