Many other Hobbies take up my retirement time:
-We have 3 horses that we ride on trails, in parades and just generally have fun with. Having them in our backyard takes lots of my time.
- I sew some Historic re-enacting clothing to ride sidesaddle
-My quilts are almost always for Charities.

I actually have a bullet pen that all the kids love to play with. It seems like a nice hobby. My hobby is to collect etuis or hussifs - which are little wooden, ivory or bone needle and thread holders that soldiers used to take to the battlefields. I also have a collection of needle holders.

I crochet almost every day. I hate to admit it here on this board, but crochet is my absolute favorite hobby. I especially enjoy working with thread and have made a zillion doilies, small table covers and even one banquet size tablecloth.

Dogs... my life revolves around our dogs (labs).
Inside in addition to quilting I do paper cutting... scherenschnitte.
Outside... perennial gardening and koi pond.
Not too much better in life than sitting by the pond in the garden with the dogs sitting by my side... me and my husband in a rocker with me sewing!!! Life is good!!!
