Staying Busy in Retirement by Darlene

Those tumblers are really unique. Great work, Darlene. Would love an update on her reaction when she sees them.

Those are beyond amazing, Darlene! Sorry to hear about the health issues. That is the hard part about us aging, our parents do too. Just be sure to find time to take care of yourself too.

Celebrated Mother's Day today with my mom. Made this for her, she loved it. Was a fun sew.

They are using an air fryer to sublimate a tumbler! They used to do lottery tickets, but have switch over to more crafty things. Thought of you right away!

Y'all know me too well. I have the printer on order and have already started making designs for when it gets here. It's different from the epoxy ones I have been making, but I can do sublimation in the house and not have to worry about the weather like I do with epoxy. Epoxy is very finicky. I'll be showing ya'll lots of new things soon.

Oh boy, can't wait. All of your crafts are so beautiful. Your purses with all those zippers are not easy to make. So intricate and beautifully finished.

Thank you Dawn, retirement can be lots of fun. I used to craft a lot and put it aside due to adulting. Now, I'm back to it. Just finished this one today. It will hold a water bottle, tumbler or other beverage on the inside and has the zip pocket on the front for phone and other essentials. Presentation1.jpg

I'm a pretty darn good seamstress. I knit, crochet, build things, repair things. Always thought I should have been a carpenter but your zipper work on all those purses getting everything lined up perfectly puts my handy work to shame. Or maybe I could improve if I updated my equipment. My machine is 48 years old and doesn't have a free arm so moving all that small fabric around is a challenge. Thanks for sharing.

@Curlyd ... the zipper work, that's exactly what I was thinking. I can sew, but zippers are difficult for me. @Darlene's are so perfect.
