Actually, I gave it to her as the only portable one I had here. I thought as they passed through this weekend I would let her have the 401 if it fit the bill better. We are good enough friends I could never charge her for it.

Somewhere in my house is a Singer 127 with the pheasant decals. You don't suppose I can find it? I keep leaving her bobbins out on the 201's cabinet in the hopes that she will take the bait and come out.

No, but I did find a machine I forgot I ever owned. It was a Brother that I didn't own for more than 3 years before it started to give me problems. I upgraded, put it in the garage and when I saw it last week it took me a bit to even remember that it was mine.

I just wish I could get back the 2 DH said I told him to put on the curb. Why in the world would I do such a thing? Makes me sick but might be the reason I need motivation to get back to sewing.

I found one in the garage that I didn't remember buying but my DD remembers me buying it. So clearly, the denial part of SMAD struck me and then I buried it on a laundry area shelving unit.

My wife found the 403! It was in the last spot I'd have looked. Whew! Getting old is not fun, but, the leisure time that comes with it is.

Closest I've come is forgetting I even owned a machine and finding it again. I misplace small stuff and tools all the time though.

Come to think of it, I do not actually know where my electric White is. I just hope it is not in my Garage rusting.

If she is anything like me, you won't be able to pry that Elna out of her clutching fingers, or even bribe it away. Mine gets hauled out on occasion when nothing else is trusted for a tough job.

Yes, I lent a sewing machine to my sister-in-law. I know I took it back and put it away. We have been looking for that machine off and on for about 10 years. It has to be in one of our closets. It is so frustrating.
