I do smoke and will do my very best to keep it outside, until I completely quit.
I do not work outside the home. I collect vintage sewing machines. In November one of my quilts was selected to go in a book. I am still waiting for it to come back home from getting pictures taken.
I wonder if any quilters don't love animals :) Mine want to come in my sewing room, but the problem with that is that they won't leave me alone & I can't get anything done. My "babies" don't behave very well...I guess they're quite spoiled since they have the run of EVERYTHING else!
Sorry about the hubby. I went through that, it's tough and my brother is a truck driver so I know how the profession can add to it too. I hope that 2011 will allow for happiness in all of your life!
OOOohhh antique machines...so you can show us lots of pics :)
