I sew because I can't do some of my other hobbies as much I'm a glass bead artist I make beads and glass sculpture with a torch but since my daughter and 2 1/2 old granddaughter moved in with us I can't torch like I used to they have been with us for a year and a half I first babysat 5 days a week but as she got a little older it got to much so my daughter went to part time but they don't leave the house much so sewing is safer than let's say fire. She loves to sit on my lap and help me sew she doesn't touch the machine. And when I use the embroidery machine she loves to watch it.I bought her a little pink sewing machine all her own. So although I don't work out of the home believe me I work real hard in the home.
