At the age of 47, I am coming upon the time of an empty nest. The third of my four children is flying off here very soon.
This leaves just me and the baby...who would give me "that look" if he read this. He is 17, motivated, gorgeous, grounded, and committed to getting ready for a good life on his own.
I have taken up quilting and am loving it...from the purchasing of fabric all the way to the point where you give it as a gift.
I have always been creative and anyone who knows me will tell you that I am not happy unless I am creating something. I have, since the age of 10, crocheted, knitted, macrame'd, made clothing, cross-stitched, made way too many Christmas ornaments, caught the beading bug, designed web pages and sites, sewn, and now-for the second time-made blankies. As a little girl, I made Christmas trees out of Reader's Digests and wreaths out of everything from baggies to netting with my Mom. Recently, I had a blast learning pixel-art from Vikimouse.
I have a Gracie frame and Janome quilter on their way here:).
