A glass or two (smoetimes 3 lol) of wine when machine quilting is always a must. I get so nervous before i start, helps me calm down.

I drink watered down Crystal Light Peach tea and have it on a coaster near my sewing table. I 'drink' something all day long...bad as it sounds it is never alcoholic...and keeps me from being thirsty.

If it is morning time coffee sits with me while I sew. I generally have water or diet mountain lightning.

I uaually have only water, I love iced tea but it gets to watery before I remember it is there. I keep my drink on a table away from everything so I had to get up to get it. I am a cluts and would be sure to spill it on something if it was close. I couldn't drink alcohol, I have a hard enough time getting things right as it is.

Alway have coffee with me in the morning and iced coffee in the afternoon. DH built a little shelf onto my sewing table to hold my drink, he knows that I knock them over so atleast they are now safe.

I found a great solution for my sewing room. Creative Memories has a cup holder that has a screw clamp to hook it to the table. Not only does it hold a large beverage glass, it also has a scrap bag hooked on it. It runs about 15.00 but is worth not having to worry about tipping something over on my work area.

That sounds like a good idea!

In the past I have always had to have a drink of something ( not alcoholic ) nearby when doing anything or nothing. That was when I was a smoker ! Eventually got smart and stopped smoking. Best thing I ever did. Nowhere near as thirsty now. Maye 3 or 4 cups of coffee a day. Decaf of course. Also my sinus problem is almost non existant now. Used to be horrible. Very painful.
