I know this might not be understood in some circles, but I am at one of those points all of us find ourselves in from time to time with our partners. I have wanted goats for sometime now and was convinced this would be the year. After developing duck and chicken flocks and finding the breeds I want to raise, I am currently now investigating goat breeds.
Why would I put this in a quilt forum when I am sure the OFF-SUBJECT FAIRY will zap me a good one then?
I have figured out that in order to get my goats I will have to give another big wish up this year. Thus, my first treadle machine will have to wait. I have found patience makes the man happier but there comes a time where we just simply want both!
Therefore I shall let the treadle machine go by the wayside and succumb to the fact (and make my voice heard by the man) that I understand the need to wait on that. With that being said... the goats will come along and do most of my pruning for me on the property and the treadle will find me in time.
Is anyone or has anyone else been presented with this type of sacrifice when it came to sewing/quilting wants/needs for big ticket items.
Do share!
