When I was in my twenty's I sold my embroidered jeans and jackets to independent clothing stores and made dresses for boutiques in NYC. I was lucky enough to meet with Janis Joplin's manager and made a few outfits for her also. Did I save any...only the one elf in the picture. I love to give away.
As time went on motherhood became my lively hood, I got into quilting and gave family members my best. The last quilt I started was the Amish quilt which I made for my Tim. It hangs in my great room with an occasional cat checking it out.
My PAH came with the famous pill back in 1997 that was taken off the market. I've had to adjust everything in my life around this illness but I'm going to keep going and fighting this disease. Fortunately I'm still able to work, it's a sit down job with data entry.
My main interest is gardening and canning what I pick. When the last tomato is picked and the season is ending is when I go into high gear cleaning the beds for next year. As New Years Eve approaches I've already planned my garden in my mind and on paper and wait on the seed catalogues. This year I added more raised beds so I could sit down on the cinder block covered in bricks. I plan on covering the cinder blocks with a moss mixed with buttermilk. I blend it and paint it on when the weather is cooler. Makes a nice look. Sometimes I can only spend 5 minutes a day outside and then the grandkids come over and help weed. Nothing like the grandbabies. Since I got the weed hound (a stick that pulls out the weeds without bending over) the kids run to pull weeds. Great tool. Oh I forgot, I collect bricks so all of my gardens are bricked.
