Hi Stephanie,
Good to hear from you! It's nice of you to give us a bit of background on yourself and what's been keeping you busy. :) We all have "the busy's" somewhere in our lives. I've found out since complete and total retirement that I am just as busy as to when I was working outside the home. Our children seem to take some comfort from this knowledge versus the "old Dad and Mom sitting in their rockers" mentality.
I could see where you might wonder looking at the patterns and kits and especially floss being shipped out, what all of us stitchers, Gals and Guys (I think David joined into our chat this past week), are doing with the beautiful flosses! :)
