I am hard pressed to think of what I've 'given up'. Quilting is more of a giving thing so I've not given up anything. I've always been a lousy house keeper, clutter does not bother me. Now I am out in my 'sudio' as my sweet sister calls it and so even more, the clutter in the house doesn't bother me. I've not given up anything, but I've gained so many friends and with each friend comes a new confidence!!!
