Last summer was the first since I retired - I was too busy to sew anything. Retired in March 2012 and finally started sewing in September of 2013. I've enjoyed every minute of it. It will be interesting to see if I sew this coming summer. Right now we still have 8 inches of snow on the ground. If we do get enough moisture for hay then sewing will have to work around haying. Usually I do slow down in the summer but now I won't be in such a time crunch!
