I retired so I could change my activities. My hobbies (fiber arts) has been expanded. To be around people more often, I attend a weekly quilting group, I attend a 2x/mo quilting circle associated with the guild, I attend retreats. Before retirement, I tried to do art, not I've jumped in; joined an artist guild, participate in selling days, joined an art cooperative. And I work with the guild comfort quilt group-that's traditional quilting.
Does my studio stay organized-about the same or a little better
Do I get blocks of time. Yes. This means saying no to distractions.
Do I sew from my stash Yes. And I buy some also. My style keeps evolving, so I would rather have the money I spent on stocking up.
Quilting Arts is my only subscription. I've kept my books and go back for ideas.
Add to that I'm able to try recipes I never had time for.
