Hi Everyone!
I'm eager to start looking around, but thought I'd post a quick intro.
I'm a 47 year old mom of two daughters. Married to DH for 25 years last November. We also have a son-in-law and one granddaughter. Our second granddaughter will arrive in the next few weeks. :)
I did a 20 year stint in the corporate world and "retired" (a/k/a quit) in 2001. I've been making soap for 15 years. DH and I own a gift shop and craft mall - we purchased it nearly 2 years ago. (Economic problems??? LOL! We've seen lean times before, so we'll get through this one too.)
Other passions: homeschooling (still have a 16 year old DD at home), gardening, knitting, spinning, sewing, creating a lovely home.
I look forward to getting to know all of you! |

Welcome Wandering Willow. You should fit in just great around here. A lot of the girls here make and sell their own shop in their etsy shops. I took a spinning class back last month and my friend bought a wheel and she loves it. I am so busy working on all my other projects, I'm planning on spending more time with it though. It's such a great thing! Well jump on in and have fun! Glad you are here! Farm Girl Hugs!

Welcome to the forum, WW. You sound like you keep busy. I have a wheel but need to learn to use it. One day...
