I've been retired almost 5 years. I actually think I crafted more while I was working. I would have to plan time to do it, and would actually do crafts at the alloted time because if I didn't I wouldn't have another opportunity. Now that I'm retired, I don't plan a time thinking that I've got all the time in the world, but it seems I'm busier now than when working. We recently bought a cottage. I brought one of my machines out there so I could quilt while he fished. The only thing I've been using it for is to reupholster the pontoon cushions (not my idea). Do you know how many cushions there are on a pontoon? looking forward to when the snow flies and I can get back to quilting. I hope.
