Welcome from Southern California. Sounds like you fit right in. I have a large stash and am working on my large pile of UFO's. Of course, there is nothing like the fun of starting a new project. all the new fabrics and colors are just so tempting!!! :)
My chosen carreer was homemaker and mother as well. I was able to do that for 20 years. However when DH retired from the Navy and went to Seminary 7 years ago I had to go work. Just recently, though I cut my hours back and only work 19 hours, 3 days a week, unless it is tax season. Longing to be a homemaker again, someday!!!
