I take classes online (not quilting) and I plan to get back to working on my miniatures (room boxes).

Also read the French and English newspapers every day and I clip articles that may interest my daughter,

I knitted matching Scandanavian sweaters for the neighbor girl and her fiance whom she met in college. Later on she asked me to make two more for her and her new fiance. I asked her where the first ones I knitted were. She threw them in the garbage as she never wanted another reminder of him. Needless to say, I didn't knit the second pair.

Although I haven't done much the last couple of years, I got my kiln hooked up so I can start to make porcelain dolls again. I knit, crochet, tole paint, oil paint on canvas, I make most of my clothes, and of course quilt.

I work a full time job. Spend time with my daughter when she is home from college. Go on crazy shopping trips with my BFF ( who also loves quilting and sewing and everything creative), gardening, paint barn quilts, Turkey and Deer hunting, like to read mysteries and hang out with my better half, Steve. Also try and do the domestic goddess stuff, cooking and cleaning lol

A click - it is a book marker. Place on front and back page you are reading and it "clicks" to hold the page! People on forum have bought some and they love them...
