    I work full time in a shelter for homeless families, so I need to relax after work. As well as quilting&sewing, I garden, read, crochet, and as my moniker implies, go hiking. Nothing like getting out in the woods to clear your head and refresh your soul.

    I tell myself that I must get a certain amount of house cleaning down before I can sew. But that way, I rarely sew. Sometimes I just let the house go to pot and sew away. Fortunately my DH isn't a neat freak. As long as dinner is cooking when he gets home, he's happy. :)

Church group was glad to get them and they put them together. Also I am now sewing "Coloring book bags with crayons" that I am going to sell at my DD mother's club bazzare. What are you doing in you spare time?
    Could I get the pattern for the chemo caps? Our church started a knitting/crochetting group and we want to do charitable items.
    Thanks, Anancy

    Thanks for explaining. I saw the dog in your avatar and thought it was another word to call clickers (used in dogs)
