For a time she owned an applique business called Swell Ideas. Additionally she spent several years as the testing coordinator for Austin Community College but she never stopped crocheting, quilting or making crafts and costumes for her grandkids. After her mother, Monnie, moved to Texas in 1996 she became a member of the Cedar Park Knitting Circle.
