Welcome to steemit. I look forward to following your progress down this path. I, too, homeschooled my boys (23 and 18) and I enjoyed every day I could spend with them. I love the full spectrum of fabric arts, but I gravitate towards figuring out crochet motifs/squares and then I take the smallest needle and finest threads - yep, silk sewing thread - and once I figure it out, I move on to the next puzzle. I guess I'm a sampler :) because I don't generate anything functional or even useful. I look forward to hearing your stories.
