There is a mixture of older and newer buildings as well giving it that delightful European flavor.Īnd of course, what’s a quilt show without shopping? I was excited to see Janet Wicker-Frisch has brought back some of her She Who Sews fabric line, now with Riley Blake. Porto in particular is known for its Art Nouveau architecture, much of the city being built during the rise of its famous beverage, Port wine. The short answer is YES, not completely decided yet, but pretty firmly in the camp of yes, we will be moving, ideally to Porto, Portugal. My husband is getting ready to retire in the next year and has been mumbling about moving out of California, as much as we love it, but to where? So, in July we arranged a 3 week visit to scout out various cities with the idea in mind, would we want to live here?

Politically stable, extremely safe with a highly rated health care system all very important to, well I’ll admit it, seniors like me. Digging a little deeper into Portugal we see it is a fascinating place with a great deal of history and beauty, and a population that is aging out. Second, I LOVE Europe and it has been a dream of mine to live there since my 1st visit to Switzerland in my early 20’s. First, I know the couple and consider them very savvy, if they think it’s a good place to retire, then it’s a good place to retire.

Sometime in June… or was it May? My husband mentioned that a coworker of his and their wife, were traveling to Portugal to scope it out with the intention of moving there in a few years.

I then added colored pencil to my paper drawing. I tried a few things I didn’t like (that’s why working ideas out on paper is a good idea!) but I did achieve a design I love and feel adds to the overall look. To test out my ideas for adding additional “flair” I printed the design on paper, and looked at mandala designs on Pinterest to get ideas for the details - the swirls, lines and dots that I added inside and outside of the original image. I created this mandala design with room to add not only color but some of your own personal expression within the mandala itself. We draw the 1st number for this years round of UFO Club on March 1, so there is still time to join us if you have projects you want to finish with a “support group” you can find the details here. This year as I make my list of 9 projects to finish by the end of November, I’ll be looking at my remaining projects (still quite a few more than 9) and asking the same questions I’m asking about all my possessions, “Do I LOVE this?, Does it spark joy?, Would I take it with me when we move?” only projects that pass this 3 question test are going on my UFO Club list. 2 years of my online Rettabug’s UFO Club have helped me to complete a big chunk of those projects. My studio also contains a lot of unfinished projects. After nearly 22 years in this house there has been a lot of accumulation! Our cabinets, garage and my studio are all packed solid with “stuff”. Making room will be our mantra in the coming months as we empty our house of belongings, of lots of “things” that no longer serve us and that we would not even consider taking with us. As my husband and I move forward with our intention of relocating to Portugal in 2024 we will be downsizing to live a bigger life.
