First Day of Retirement

Oh WOW it is still hard to believe that as of yesterday at 4pm.. I am free...no longer tied to the grind of work!!  I don't know how to act... I guess it still does not feel real and probably won't for a few weeks....so what was my first day like??  Slept late!!  got up and had the required few cups of coffee and checked my e-mail and facebook.. and then has a  leisurely day of stitching.  Working on Isabelle Fox today..

Will also work on her tomorrow... then during the week the plan is to stitch on either Dutch Beauty or Ann Medd... I am going to work on Ann as part of Nicola's Scarlett Letter year so she will get preference...I do want to finish Dutch Beauty and also have Victorine waiting in the wings for a finish... so this will be the years of finishes along with the SAL's.....

Looking forward to keeping this blog up to date with my stitching progress as now I really have no excuse not to  :))))

Happy Stitching to all
Karen

Congratulations on your retirement. It does take some getting used to but your stitching will keep you occupied.

Hope you're enjoying your retirement. Now that you are a lady of leisure, I can only imagine how many wonderful samplers you will stitch.

Wow, KB....RETIRED...that is a magical word to my ears! Unfortunately for me...it is 11 years off!

I will live vicariously through you!

I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas Season,
