About this Blog 
“Ah! There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort.”  - Jane Austen (Emma)

Since I retired from teaching in 2009 I have become quite a homebody.  Mrs. Elton's quote from Emma perfectly describes my life.


This blog is to share my wonderfully comfortable retired life, specifically focused on the hobbies I have developed over the years - sewing, quilting, knitting, researching family history.  I have found a lot of great ideas for projects from other people's blogs and I wanted to give back and share my creations with others.
