    Do you suffer withdrawal symptoms when you don't have access to your sewing machine? Yesterday mine went in for its first complimentary service after 12 months and it could take 14 days to come home again. So how am I dealing with that? Going to buy more fabric today of course. I have got on and prepared some appliques that I can do by hand that will go into a charity quilt, and maybe I could finish off all those almost finished embroideries, and maybe I could even do some housework and baking and ironing. How boring! Will I last the distance? :-(
