I started to sew when I was 6 or 7, but didn't made my first quilt till about 25 I think. I'm more than double that now and have made too many quilts to count! I didn't know to document them at first, now I keep photos in my computer but I still occasionally forget to get the pic!
Go ahead and whack the DH. Trust me, they need it!
No matter how well I hide sweets, my DH will find them within 48 hours! I put a bag of cookies in the dead dishwasher and he found them in 2 days flat...and we hadn't used that dishwasher in over 5 years! He's positively eerie!
And yes, I've replaced that old dishwasher too!
Now he's a type 2 diabetic. He has switched to sugar-free candy, but he still eats 'real' sugar foods too, although not as much, and tells me his A1C is fine. I have to take his word for it...
The newest member in one of my guilds is 18 and OMG is she a good quilter!!!
