I retired last June. My time is my time. My husband is still working and our daughter is away at college.
I have a room that holds fabric, my cutting table and ironing board. I go between that room and the room where I've moved my sewing machine. I last purchased fabric in August. I want to make the maze quilt for my dh. That's all I've purchased. I've completed my sister-in-law's and daughter's Christmas gifts. I made them each quilts.
My sister was here about a week ago and commented about a tote I had made. I made her one and shipped it today. I'm making the same tote for a girlfriend. I'm hoping to ship that by the weekend.
I gave up buying patterns and magazines long ago. The internet has so many resources and I have enough.
I haven't gone to retreats. I may take my stuff to my girlfriend's home.
Classes.....if I want to I can. I haven't found any I want to take.
I'm enjoying it, although there are times it's strange to be here and not at work. I've pretty much gotten over that!! Enjoy it. Make it what you want it to be.
