June Already??

Where does all the time go? How does one work full time and get anything done? I guess we find the time. I have been retired for over a year and a half and I wonder where that time went to. I find myself busy doing something or other each day. I started sewing again and found a new love for my machine. I took a rag quilt class and the teacher was awesome, showing me hints and tricks about sewing and cutting out material. I made another quilt for Lucy after the classroom quilt and when it wasn't big enough (I thought I was making a lap quilt) for the bottom of Lucy's bed I made another one and sewed them together. It was really a lot of fun and picking out fabric is fun too. My problem is a little ADD maybe. Everything I see I want to make. My supplies are mounting.
My basement looks like work stations and a craft store. Yarn, knitting needles, crochet hooks and books in one section. A table that doubles as a polymer clay station and glass painting. The other side of the table is where Babs sits when she visits or where I sit to glue gems onto bowls, silverware etc. Hooked onto that table is the sewing table which also doubles as a yarn winder. Then there is the counter top that houses the tee shirt press, silver hammering and texturing and the material cutting. In front of the window is my newest soldering station. You can just imagine the heaven I am in when I walk down the stairs. Not sure which project I will be working on. I have been listening to books on my ipod while I work. Have listened to some really good ones! I will post pictures of the basement mess and some of my projects when I return home. I am sitting on the boat in a little creek with friends from Sodus. We meet up with them whenever they are on the Chesapeake Bay. They are on their way to NY now. (they live aboard their boat and have for the past 2 years) It is a raining cool day but tomorrow is suppose to be a beautiful, hot, 89 degrees, so that is when I will work on my dark, dark tan.
Well that about wraps it up for now.
