    I bought a sewing cabinet so I can take the table I've been using to sew and use it for a cutting table. Wal Mart has a great deal on a Sauder sewing cabinet. It's $60 cheaper then the Amazon price and free shipping to your house. It has a door with 2 shelves, another door with plastic compartments , a leaf that makes the cabinet 60 inches long when open and a shelf underneath to put a machine on. Can you tell I'm excited.

    The spousal unit bought me a way-cool "cutting" table at Bi-Mart! It's about waist high, and pretty basically is two oak bookcases with a tabletop on them. I no longer have to bend to cut!

    I purchased one of the purple sit upons (http://tinyurl.com/7k8envp) for my back and sciatic problems. It is amazing and I would recommend it for anyone with back problems.

    Only for my eye comfort, I've added two Featherweight machines. I enjoy looking at the lovely girls and even my friends like to take them for a test drive when they visit to see the girls. One is a centennial 1851-1951 with navy blue circle around the gold badge. She also has the gold badge underneath the Singer Badge with 221 on it, the decals are in great shape as well as the machine. The scroll work is almost perfect and she runs as if she is a baby. The other Featherweight is the one with the Red S and the gold plate underneath the Singer Badge with 221 on it. She was born in 1961. I think this lovely girl will go home with my twin sister this Christmas because she loves these machines as much as I do.

    I have Spinal Stenosis and was trying to get a Tens Unit. They kept telling me they were checking with my Insurance to make sure it would be covered. This was about a month ago and have not heard anything else since.
