    ROFL. Do you think there was actually woman who did this?

    I showed this to my husband. He said there is no way that was in the manual. He said, "I am going to have to see a manual before I believe this." My featherweight should be here in about 10 days I'll have to show him to make him believe.

    I showed my future son-in-law. He wants a machine line that for my daughter. lol

    Love it, I only try to follow the have the housework done, otherwise I worry about people just stopping in, and my housework is not done. I don't go crazy just make sure the dishes are in dishwasher, and the clutter is picked up...don't go to extremes, but I agree you have to be in the right mindset or things can go wrong!

    Oh dear, I got so carried away with my sewing after dinner that I forgot the time. Now it almost bedtime and I haven't even put my makeup on yet. Some friends laugh because I put fresh makeup on before bed, but I don't care -I look nice for my darling husband and God forbid, if there's a fire I want to look presentable for the firemen who risk their lives to rescue us. If I hurry, I might have time to see a few minutes of Jack Paar before turning in, I think Adala Rogers St. John and Oscar Lavant are the guest tonight. (Have I just aged myself???) LOL OK, I'm 70 years young.

    does that mean i can't stay in my jammies w/my hair in an uncombed knot on my head tomorrow (sat) and sew to my heart's content??

    i have to look (reasonably) good for work 5 days a week... isn't that enough!

    I thought about that too, but it occurred to me I would not get much quilting done if I look too glamorous... :-) :-) :lol:
    i can't wear sequins... and the curves in the wrong places will be SHINY...that would be a problem!!

    That is just too funny. :) I'm allergic to makeup (really) and don't own a dress or even a skirt. My feet don't like shoes so I'm always barefooted (sandals when I go outside). My DH thinks sewing is more important that housework and it's his job, too. He swears if he is hungry and I don't feel like cooking, he is a big boy and knows how to make a peanut butter sandwich. Life is good here. :)
