Dear friends, Yesterday I retired from my job as a bridal alterationist. After 20 years at Modern Bride & Formal Shop my fibromyalgia and other health issues have gotten the better of me making it difficult to do the job i loved with my co-workers that were like family to me. I will miss the book discussions and fun, the sorrows shared and divided, the joys and triumphs celebrated.
Perhaps I will be able to start stitching again. I still have WIPS and UFOs hanging around

Although it's not under the best circumstances, I would like to congratulat e you on your retirement. I just wish you had better health in which to en joy it. But isn't that usually the case? We work our lives away until our health forces us to take it easy. Stitch on...even if it's only 10 stitch es a day, it's a start toward a finished piece.
Congratulations, Bobbie!!!!!!! :-) Keep up with the co workers and look at the WIPS and UFOs as physical therapy with no deadlines. Liz from Humbug
Congratulations. You can still stay in touch with your co-workers and stitching is so much fun. You will find yourself busier now than before. Sharon in MN
Yaaaay! Congrats to you, Bobbie! From what I've heard from other retirees, you will really enjoy it. I hope your fibro doesn't give you
*too* much trouble!Happy stitching!
