Steve, my dear husband, and I share our cozy, happy home with a bouncy Papillon named Spanky, Rosie our chubby Chihuahua and Charlie the red Beta. Crafting, especially with our grandchildren, is my favorite form of enjoyment. Crochet is my main go-to. I've started an old-fashion bedspread which will probably take a year or two to finish. My hopes are to add a little income to the retirement with my hand-crafted soaps and crocheted items. Retirement is, hopefully, right around the corner. At least by February 2015. I'm looking forward to having my time at home.
