I have one friend who, when she sees pictures I've posted of a new orphan machine I have, will ask if we need to have a hoarder intervention. I have another coworker where we have this conversation every Monday morning:

Him: "Did you do anything fun this weekend?"
Me: "Mmm. Nothing too exciting. Yard work, stuff."
Him: "Did you buy another sewing machine."
Me: "Uhh...well...."
Him: "You did! You did!" Frowns at me. "I'll bet it was a Singer."
Me: "Well...yeah, but it's really interesting because of such and such feature, and I don't have one like it, and it was just too cheap to pass up."
Him: Walks off shaking his head and laughing at me.
Ya know, I get the same things from friends, but they all know I love to sew so they just laugh and tease my husband about all the sewing machines. Besides, they all know the sewing maching addiction is much better than my other addiction of lots of Chihuahuas and horses! I am down to 7 horses and only 2 Chihuahuas, although I have been bugging my DH for 3 months to let my add 'one more horse and one more Chihuahua' to our life! He won't budge on that one!
