I used to stockpile all sorts of craft stuff for "when I retire." Then I was diagnosed biipolar and put on meds that control it. Now I stockpile just quilt stuff. I made a pact with my DDs that my craft plans are just down to 3 things and I am sticking to it. The rest of the retirement stuff went bye-bye in yard sales. I'm not saying I'm perfect yet, but I am much, much better--and my children don't mind being around me now. the pity is that it took until I was 50 yrs old to get diagnosed. I can never undo the h---I put my family through before that.
