Lets give it a try
Well, I love trying new things so here goes....My daughter showed me her blog and I have heard the word being thrown around so what the heck..I am not sure what i will write about as of yet ....I was retired until this past Aug when the need for a little extra cash sent me back to the want-ads..I found a part time job as an assistant in an after school program...Taking care of children for K to 5th grade after school until their parents come and get them after work....I just thought of it as a part time afternoon job at first but now I see its much more...providing a safe and happy place for children to be while their parents finish up their work day is very rewarding...listening to their daily adventures and helping with homework and playing games seems like I am getting the best end of the deal....Children breath life into you and energy..I had forgotten that....my hobbies are painting and sewing,quilting and just about anything creative...right now I am into a new art and that collage or altered art....I have tried watercolor,acrylic, oils, pastels and my favorite of those is watercolor....Now I am working with fabric and found objects.....Life is good after 65 believe me..real good

My latest interest..Machine embelishing
several years ago I found the art of needle felting ...I love creating dimentional animals and figures useing wool and a barbed needle..like sculpting......While takeing a class at my local quilt shop I mentioned it and they quickly asked me if I wanted a job teaching felting on their new machine...Wow!! I could not believe it!!so I purchased a machine to practice at home...I will post a picture of my first project....This machine is exciting I can see so much potential in it....so off I go in a new direction....I am excited at all I can learn and teach others...
