Someone will want it to go with their antique machine. Your posts are educational , in both "how to do things" and "what's too much for me to tackle" categories.

I suppose it's just best to do it one step/day at a time. I liked what Ann from KY said though.... it's a thought. There may be someone out there who would just love to learn all you have to teach them. I think it's amazing what you have learned and shared here on the blog.

Just think about the time when you have no regular job anymore. Being able to potter in your workshop the whole day. <br />Like the FlyLady says: one (baby) step at the time and in due time you will have everything in order.

I hated having so many machines sitting in my garage. Right now I have about three to fix, and I need to get them done and out of here. Sometimes we just need to relax and breathe! Hang in there! Hopefully warmer weather will get here soon.

My answer is I need more space which is laughable as I won't mention the couple of 40 ft shipping containers behind dh's farm shop that hold mostly my blanks and fabrics out of the wazoodle often rolls and bolts. Of course my house is filled wth machines, thread, and all sorts of embroidery and sewing stuff,modern machines and now several vintage machines (ok 7 not several) that I disguise(that;s my story) as end and occasional tables since I insist they have the appropriate cabinet for their era. Honestly the more one curbs one area , I think we gravitate to other collecting. Oh well so far there is a path through the house and I am not climbing over things and the toilets are all functional unlike those tv shows.. <br />Some of us just love sewing things and that's the way it is. I have always said if I didn't amass the sew hoard , I would be very organized and tidy.But I suspect I'd be overboard collecting other things. Some days like yours I think what in the hey dey am I doing with all this stuff and my late mother would be horrified as she was so not a collector so don't even express the thought to a mom in that category.
