When hobbies collide..."repurposing"
 

DH collects antique radios, 45 record players. Sometimes he brings a radio into the house and plays it on my dining room/sewing table. He made the mistake of leaving it right next to my sewing machine.

The antenna made a convenient spool for my thread cone!

lol! good for you.

:D:D too funny

Now that's what I call 'thinking outside the box'!!!! Clever girl!!

A girl after my own heart! Works like a charm!

way to go. 2 for 1 hobbies

Priceless. BrendaK

LOL! Good idea!!

I laughed so hard. Good for you

Shared space - shared use.

Too funny!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is definitely thinking outside the box!

Great idea. My upright bobbin post broke off during moving so now I know what I can Use!

good idea.

how funny good use!!!

Ha ha! That's too funny.

Another use for a radio antenna. Sharing hobbies! LOL! Listen to music and sew much of a connection!

I love that,,, making use of everything, helping out in sewing & sewing to the music...

That's a hoot! Poor guy will never see his radio in the same light again ...

Rofl. Good collision.

Love it and I just made a charity quilt using that cute bear fabric!!!!

He actually laughed about it, which surprised me big time. However, if he brings a radio or 45 player into the house, he has to ask permission and he didn't ask this time. If he doesn't ask, then he pays the consequence. Usually, I just ask him to remove the item, and he does.

He has to ask permission because otherwise we wouldn't be able to find the walls of the house - we'd just see his hobby stuff. I have been there and done that, but never again! He does have a 3 car garage set up with shelving and a workshop area specifically for his hobbies, so he's not suffering.

The bear fabric is cute. I don't have enough for a quilt, but will make it into a doll quilt/toy bag and then donate it.

I love it.

You have a good imagination. Very clever.

that's what I call a 'twofer'....get to listen to tunes and sew at the same time!!!

What a cute idea.

Tooooooo cute.

LOL LOL LOL I love it-good for you :)
p.s. did hubby ask for the radio back? thanks for the chuckle :)

Great idea!

now THAT'S funny lol

We moved it off the table because we're entertaining tonight. Otherwise, it would all still be there.

How funny is that.

my first BIG smile of the day! :thumbup:

Guess the laugh is on him for leaving his things on your sewing table, if you snooze, you lose. Great idea of using materials at hand.

Ahh yes .next time dear .. don't put it there as you know I repurpose all in my sight !LOL

I have an old singer that has the spool holder broken off and an old radio hmmmm... Thanks for the idea!

i love it!!

Good to see someone with a sense of humor! Thanks for the smile!

Brilliant, just brilliant. What sort of "reception" did you get from your hubby?

What a great idea! Now start working on an idea for the old turntables.
