SPRING IS DONE

Today I pulled the pea plants – a sure sign that spring in North Carolina is over and done. It was a rainy spring, which made watering the garden nicer, but now…

The humidity starts.

I started semi-retirement in March and have been working only part-time. Over the past couple of months, my work hours have become more irregular. This past week I only had a few hours of office work so was home almost all week. Later this month I will need to go to the office every day of the week. I am still working out what “retirement” looks like for me so this transitionary period of part-time work helps keep me busy so I don’t atrophy before I can figure that out!

I have been busy utilizing my new sewing machine. I finished one quilt top and it’s ready to sandwich and quilt.

A second top is in progress and is waiting for the right fabric for the final border. Then it will be ready to sandwich and quilt.

I have unpacked and organized my quilting supplies. This was fabric and projects that I packed and brought with me from Wyoming 12 years ago. It took a long time to accomplish this task but was necessary for me to see what I have. I counted more than 25 Works in Progress and there are additional scraps and yardage for at least as many more! Oi vey.

  1. Sounds like you are getting there! Hope you find other things that take your fancy to fill your otherwise “working” hours! I find plenty to keep me busy as well as enjoying my down time. When I was younger I also really enjoyed volunteering for different entities….i seemed to veer toward all thing involving food😄
