I've been busy lately making hang bags that I sell in my moms salon. Fishing, going dear hunting this year for the first time. Here lately I havent had much time to really get out and DO much. Spend all day every day in my sewing room. Broke free from it today, had to can the last of the tomatos and freeze the last of the squash, drying the last of the peppers, and baking a cake for a friend while I catch up on here.

I hook rugs with wool fabrics in primitive patterns. Difficult having two addictions but my husband gets a kick out of telling people his wife is a "hooker". Oh, the looks I get. LOL! :shock:

Well aside from the dreaded ogre "housework", there's reading, gardening, embroidery, renovating, dreaming up quilts, thrift/antique shop hunting....and last but not least this fantastic forum.

Seems from reading everyone's posts we could all do with a few extra hours in our day!

Go for a walk in the a.m., swim with handicap client in the afternoon. Make metal Angel pins which I sell with lots of other items at a few craft shows. Give massages, work on-call, visit or travel with my elderly Mom. Would love to get back into stamping, paper making and stained glass. No time for housework unless it's absolutely necessary. Oh, and spend lots of time on this board!!

I am busy reading, writing or walking my little dog Molly. She's just a year old and loves to go out often and sometimes it's just to play. The walks do us both good and I've managed to lose eight pounds since I got her in July.

Besides quilting I also like to sew garments (though not as much as I used to) and machine embroider. I also like handwork and am crocheting some mary-jane slippers for Xmas gifts. I also like to read, cook (I spend almost as much time in my kitchen as I do in my sewing room) and play tennis. And I love to spend time with my hubby on our farm!

on occasion I clean house but I love to bake. Especially now around the holidays, I love to bake cookies and cheesecake. I am sewing felt gift bags for a secret Santa.
Other than that, since I work full time my week is taken up
