I am a retired 44-year veteran of the Real Estate Assessment field. As with real estate assessing and how it applies to real estate taxes, one can make many acquaintances, but not many real friends. It was a great career choice.
It has been nearly 10 years since I reclaimed my home and my real passions within my home. I enjoy it more each day and tip my hat to those who I left behind.
Each day I try to stretch myself with the use of my computer as it relates to this site and using it to print out labels for quilts for trying to incorporate photos into my sewing. Life is so full and I know that I have room for more.
During the last two weeks of cleaning, sorting and arranging my sewing studio, I had almost forgoten all I had gleaned from the new sewing machine. My plan is to make potholders. It will give me practice for the embroidery aspect, the free motion quilting and the straight sewing. Soon they will all become second nature. This evening, I look forward to some sofa time while I hand hem the potholders.
