  1. I posted that this week on my facebook and it went completely crazy! It stressed me out! But I had a good giggle over it and printed it out, taped it to the wall in my sewing space, and proceeded to sew in my jammies! :)

  6. I have shared that on my Facebook also. About a month ago when I first saw it on FB I shared it and read it aloud to my husband. He snorted and chuckled through the whole thing. He is SO good when I am in what we call "Sew Mode". He knows about all he can expect when I'm in the zone is clean clothes and a couple of hot meals a day. He is very understanding about the house getting more and more cluttered and the floors getting a bit grimey. He knows I'll hit the wall and do a major clean before it gets TO bad. :D

  10. Honestly, the dirty dishes never bother my sewing. It must be this nice MODERN machine that just doesn't care if my house is clean or if I am "neatly put together"
    I am glad the newer machines are less picky about that stuff!

  14. What a hoot! The best housekeeping advice I ever got was from a little old lady who told me to keep my vacuum cleaner in the living room, plugged in - then if anyone dropped by unexpectedly, I could tell them I was just getting ready to vacuum!!

    And Gene, I will say that all my antique machines encourage me to sew before doing any cleaning, just like me newer machines - so I think a man wrote that little sewing manual blurb!!
