I am 76 and about 5 years ago went through my crafts etc. and chose which crafts I would be able to enjoy before I am called to the pearly gates. Crocheting and knitting and quilting are still in. I saved my pen and ink materials, but wonder if my hand is still steady enough to do satisfactory work. Cannot do cross stitch, beading, tatting, flower crafts, gardening, beadwork and wreath making. Got rid of quite a bit of stuff. Saved some clothing patterns and got rid of the rest. Feel much lighter now. Still have too much quilting fabric, but I figure that now I cannot afford to buy fabric and am dedicated to using what is in my sewing area. Also have 5 sewing machines. Am giving 3 of these to a settlement house in the city that teaches refugees to do simple household tasks including sewing. I hope I get 'A' for effort.
