Sewnoma

I know...I know... My husband has stopped asking, "Does it do something your other machines don't do?" when I'm looking at a machine, he knows the answer is going to be, "No, but I want it anyway, it's just too cool!" He gets it, though, he makes music and he has some old synthesizers and keyboards he never uses but were just "too cool" to pass up. And he wasn't asking to be snide, he was genuinely puzzled for awhile but now he understands - I don't NEED them, I'm just accumulating them.

I made myself a rule, I have to sew on each one at least once per year or it has to go. Partially because I do need to keep this under control for space reasons, and also because I don't want to have machines just sitting, I believe they should be used. There are going to be some exceptions (like the machine my aunt gave me, I will NEVER get rid of that unless one of her kids wants it some day) but for the most part it sounds like a good idea. We'll see how well I stick to it though! I might have to make it once every TWO years...a year goes by a lot faster than it used to.
