Just checking in. It has been a while. I am in the final weeks of my semester at the university. I have a few extra strings to tie up this time around because I am leaving my full time faculty position for an adventure into retirement and only part-time teaching. I have to leave my office and my computer and my favorite big squishy chair. I also get to leave behind committee meetings, scheduling classes for upcoming semesters and demanding students who forgot to register for classes. On the whole it has been a joyous run for me and I would do it all again if I could, but I am tired and need a good nap.
No big plans for retirement but lots of UFO's to tackle and some promised quilts to make. I am looking forward to a less frenetic winter, spring, summer, and fall and will accept all advise about retirement. I am sure that I will need it.

Belated birthday wishes to Happylab. I'm sorry but just can't get it together since pneumonia. I was making table runners when I got sick and they are still there in my sewing room. I am going to try today, again. Ha Ha!
I did a lot of surfing the last few days......you tube is wonderful! I found a quilter there that deals mostly in 5" charms.
Hope it is okay to mention that here but I have 3 containers full of 5" charms and I have to use them also.
Just go to you tube and put in a search for Gourmet quilter.
December birthday ladies, your candies are in the mail, hope you enjoy them!

Jane quilter, Such a great Dec BOM. Very colorful and great for creating the Christmas atmosphere. I love it.
I'm still having too much fun playing with my candy to post pics yet. But I plan to post tomorrow. It's sad but true my BD month is over. I had a great month. I ordered things for me from several quilting sites, Went out to dinner 3-4 times the week of my birthday. Talked or went out to eat with several members of my extended family. Plus I finished projects and started projects for my new Compled/UFO's. Plus I received my angles swap blocks and best of all my BD candy blocks from you all. Thank-you all very much for helping to make my birthday month a great month. Now I'm passing the baton to the Dec BD members, have fun!
