This is my first blog ever.  I love doing lots of different crafts.  I am getting ready to retire in June from teaching.  ONly 34 days left but I am not really counting.  I love teaching but I am glad that it is coming to a close.  I am ready to just sit back and relax without getting up early everyday and planning lesson plans and meeting Dept. Chair deadlines and District deadlines.  I am looking forward to using my new Bernina sewing machines,  yep I did make that a plural.  I quilt but my schedule has not allowed me the time to really devote to it like I would like to.  My last quilt was for my daughter's wedding which was 6 years ago.  I started another one but that has been put away.  When I retire in June, I plan on moving to Massachusetts to live near my younger grandchildren.  I want to sew Jacquelilne and Ozzie stuff and quilt.  I also knit and crochet for a friend of mine who does a craft fair back east to raise money for a home that houses adults who are severely handicapped.  I knit and crochet for the grandkids and me too.  I will continue to scrapbook, regular and digital.  I find that now that I am coming to the end of my lifetime career that I really value my own time that I have.  Today was the Faculty Basketball game and I was going to go with a friend from school but I would have to hang around school until 4:30.  The game is at 6.  But I just wanted to go home, so I canceled out.  Rather be home doing crafts.  LOL.
