I've been out of the needlework teaching and writing loop for a couple of years and out of the RCTN loop for several more than that. This does not mean I haven't been stitching, generating more UFOs, or participating in SEX, however! (Just last night,a friend upped my quotient of UFOs and SEX toys when she turned over her stash and unfinished projects!)
How lovely to see some of the old guard still posting!
Hope you've been having a great time with your needle and thread!

Wow. I was just thinking about you a few days ago and wondering what you’ve been up to. I know Kathy Dyer has given up on needlework because she’s so busy (she gave me all her Kreinik threads when she traveled to North Dakota a number of years ago).She’s apparently the kind that has to stay very busy, while I’m happy to sit back and enjoy my retirement.
I’ve kind of lost my stitching mojo but hope to get it back. I have too many WIP but might need to start something new, just to get me going again.
Happy to see you back, MB

That damn facebook - I just won't go there, the other day a woman
applied to join rctnp (we now moderate it in order to keep all the
porno posts away) and one of the facebookers was there quick as a
flash to say, no, come to FB :(
I confess I am not stitching now, I do knit though, to me it makes
television watchable and the recipients love to receive the socks or whatever.
Joan Erickson is still here and she is still stitching madly, she has
to with an enormous stash looking her in the eye :)

I'm still mostly lurking but not doing much stitching. I keep saying I >should finish the last ornament I started but never get to it. In fact,
the stitching bag is still where I moved it when decorating for Xmas.
Maybe the idea of starting something new would get me back into it.
Until then I have snow and ice to remove from the latest storm.

I retired and left California. I have 187 pcs of
needlework to hang and have "lost walls" to an open floor
plan. (And I also have all of my mother's framed pieces
and pillows.)
A well-known nwk shop is about 15 minutes from my new
place, so I'm in no danger of being without supplies.
Hah! Especially since my mother gave me her ENTIRE stash
because she can't see well enough, anymore (she's 96); and
a friend gave me all of hers (including her UFOs - as tho
I need more of those!). I'm trying to organize my office,
which now doubles as a pattern-filing room. As with
anyone else, my fabric and thread and goodies stash is
distributed in...um...several places.
Right now I'm trying to finish a set of 5 Scots angels.
They were designed to be Chr ornaments, but I decided to
make them into a sampler so I could enjoy all of them year
'round. Naturally, I made them much more complex than
needed, including researching tartan patterns and
translating them to a much-smaller scale. That was a
challenge!
I'm not teaching at festivals - I'm not sure there even
ARE any, anymore! Not writing for magazines, either, but
I am contemplating starting that again.

So, Kathy retired?
~~
Arliss, thank you for your welcoming words! Good to hear
from you again! mb
More knitting, occasionally a sewing project, most most
of my time is taken up by reading. Love my Kindles! Once
the weather improves, I'll probably be out trying yet again
to outwit the deer and other critters who think my vegetable
garden is an all you can eat buffet.
Nyssa, who also needs to reinstall her design software on
a computer that can actually run it
I lurk both here and on Facebook. There really isn’t anything wrong with Facebook, and I’ve reconnected with high school and college friends through it.
Kathy is semi-retired from Livermore Labs. Her acting, dancing, church choir, and volunteering with the Livermore Police Department seem to take up a lot of her time. I haven’t seen her for probably 3 years. She was in ND and Montana while I wasenjoying a trip to the UK with my sister, her husband (and 44 others) in 2016.
I also dislike FB. I was not even tempted to join.
I'm not sure what's even on there now. I think in the "olden days" it was where people posted pix of folks and chatted with friends and family. I'm guessing now it's full of ads/etc. and troll-ridden.

Guess your winter is like ours to some degree. Last evening it
started snowing at 5:30pm, by about 10pm the wind and temperature rose
and the rain poured down, causing plenty of accidents. This a.m.
ground is bare but deceptive, a lot of ice. In 50 years I don't
recall such a changeable winter.

It depends a lot on how private you want to be :( Never be fooled
about all their settings, they don't mean squat. After a precise
lesson by a nerd, I wanted no part of it.
There are other ways to connect, I wanted to write to my friends
sister (my friend died a couple of years ago) and all I knew was her
married name and that she moved to Wales from the Cotswolds. I put
his name into google, and Wales and he immediately showed up at a
school there. I emailed them and fully expect them to do as I ask
and contact her and ask her to get in touch with me. We'll see.
