I had posted on Sat. that I had bought a new (used) Janome 9700 & hadn't told hubby. Today I got brave & told him & the first thing he said was, how much did that cost you or I should say cost me? I told him I was paying for it myself & he didn't really say anything more about it so far. I figured if he had gotten mad about it I would've told him that I don't drink, smoke or spend wildly & it's my therapy! Luckily he didn't object. I hope to get it by the end of the week & I can hardly wait!

Hehe. I am glad you still have a roof over your head because winter is coming. LOL
Thats great your hubby didn't blow his stack. Hope it gets here soon for you too.

so far so good...but let's hope he does not come home with something like a new Corvette!hehehe

LOL new corvette sounds good..but, Id probably go for a "NEW TO ME", featherweight

You will love that machine. There are some good tutorials on the Janome site. Actually there are some on Youtube, too. Enjoy!!

so happy you still have a roof over your house don't want your sewing room to get wet

Whew!

LOL..Good for you! I have the older model the 9000 and just love my machine, you will have lots of fun with it!!

:thumbup:

Glad all is good!

I just bought a little feather weight at our quilt show. When I carried it in the house dh said.." that looks like one of those little black machines" Then he asked me what i was going to use it for. He also said it was really cute. He has his toys and I have mine.. I paid for it didn't ask him for money so, why should he object.

Good for you.

Connie in CD I LOVE your avatar chickens":)

Congratulations on the machine. Love my Janome. When will your husband have the new skimobiles delivered??? Lmao!

Hahahaha - I'm glad you're not in trouble. My Husband says "what are you going to do with THAT?" on just about everything I purchase and I tell him, "none of your business." Lol* He doesn't really care although sometimes he cringes as the $$$ add up. I am a stay at home Mother so I truly don't spend all THAT much. Right now our budget just doesn't allow it. But hey, as you said, I don't drink, I don't go out, I cut my own hair and I buy most of my clothes second hand. In my opinion I'm a pretty low maintenence wife! Just keep me supplied with fabric and batting and I'm pretty much happy!

He's been thinking about getting a new fishing boat & I told him this summer that I have no objection to it at all. In fact, he was always complaining about his trailer because the boat wouldn't go on right & I kept telling him to just get a new one & he finally did. Now he says I wish I would've gotten one a long time ago. Duh!! At least I don't have to listen to him constantly complaining about it anymore. He's possibly going on a hunting trip this weekend & I keep telling him to go too. Anything to get him out of my hair for a few days!!!!! I could use a few days of peace & quiet.

LOL. Maybe he was so quiet about it because he has something to tell you and is waiting for the right moment. I hope you told him the exact cost. Keep it real!

I did tell him what I paid for it & I also told him what a new one would have been so I think that may have helped.

I went through the same thing when I bought my long arm quilting machine. All he said was "I guess I wont be getting that new truck this year after all". He is pretty sweet do I had better hang on to him.
