It’s always more fun to dream about something than reality so don’t set yourself up for disappointment. My reality became my husbands health. We managed to travel a little. My stash & patterns piled up but now I’ve lost interest in much of it.
After a few yrs of freedom to sew, I burned out a little. Yes, I have sev projects going right now but am stumped by my new sewing machine.
Just do whatever makes you happy without a lot of pressure. Happy retirement.
