chain maille or quilting?

to chain or not to chain? aye, that is the question. and a good one. it seems that as my world expands with new creativity ... new inspiration ..................

my world also contracts with the limitations of aging. age is a very unforgiving companion. at 25 i loved golfing, biking, swimming, sewing, crochet, knitting, painting (pictures, walls, etc), crafts, sculpture, hyperactive little kids ....

i'm twice that age now. and have less than half the enthusiasm and energy lol

i no longer golf. bikes scare me. ride a motorcycle now? i don't even like to drive a car at night. sewing? i no longer sew dolls and wardrobes. i no longer create costumes. i am limited to crocheting baby booties (still can't follow a pattern worth a darn either). i rarely attempt to knit now. i can still paint a wall ... a painting? well, .... no. fewer crafts. no sculpture. and hyperactive little kids ...

... well ...

the nice thing about working at a school is, you get to spend time with kids and then go home to take a nap.
