As we sat (barely) across from each other me glaring & him grinning like a fox in a hen house! We never said a single word! Lucky for me, because when I was done He said lets have a look shall we & he covered my hands & led me into my sewing room & showed me this

Wow, what did you feed him?? My husband tries to carefully walk around my table so as to not knock anything down. I have a very tiny space, and he is afraid of it. It sounds like you have a real keeper! That is really awesome.

You have a keeper of a hubby. To built you new cabinets in your sewing room and a new machine too. Looks like he knows how to spoil you in the way that you need to be spoiled.

Hope you will enjoy your new room and Machine. I hope he knows that he is going to have to do all the cleaning and cooking now as you will be sew busy in your sewing room. Hugs,Shirley

Actually he has been doing pretty much everything including cooking, laundry, grocery shopping & today he even helped me make muffins, I messed them up but that's ok I am remembering things as I do them To bad I couldn't remember things before I mess them up!

pldc by pldc 02 Apr 2012

them up But @least I am remembering them! I used the mixer for the muffins! Then when he was putting them in the oven I realized why the batter was sew nice? Needless to say they are less then stellar, oh well I did remember it in the end

What a great finish to your saga of no machine whilst in repair. You couldn't have wished for a better outcome. You have a very BRAVE husband, mine wouldn't dare touch/move anything in my sewing room without my knowing. :)

Hey that looks better than my kitchen table most days, LOL. But ohmygoodness what a sweetie he is. I hope you both live long and happy lives together to enjoy what you have! Not only did he get you a new machine, but also made extra places to put all of its bits n pieces. Excellent! He's a star -and he obviously knows you're worthy of such devotion too :)

well ladies in my excitement this morning I forgot to tell you what kind of machine I got! It is a special edition Janome 11000 & it weighs a ton! My other machine is a Janome 10001 upgrade & it has been giving me grief, It is almost 11-12 yrs old & this is the first time (well the second) that it has given me problems! I have used it almost every single day since I first got it & now I am learning all about the new one sew I can use it too!

It came with all kinds of things but the best I can tell sew far is it has 5 different size HOOPS! I am sew excited it comes with lessons too! & a CD with 1100 free designs!Plus the machine has a bunch of them too! & alphabets too! IT already surpasses my old one! OH & I see that it has an automatic thread cutter!!!!!! Sew when you change thread colours you won't have that mess underneath! WOW! & that's just what I have learnt sew far!

pldc by pldc 02 Apr 2012

old one & one of the other awesome things that I have learn't is that it has an automatic thread cutter sew that when ever you change your thread colours it clips it & you don't have that mess underneath! WOW

pldc by pldc 02 Apr 2012

Wow, what a wonderful hubby you have. He is definitely a keeper. I'm pulling a 5 day straight babysitting for my 3 little grandsons, have an hour drive there and back home again, it will be a really long week and guess what I have to look forward to on Thursday that hubby just could NOT bring himself to tell me - He is bringing his mom over to watch baseball and have hotdogs. She is in a nursing home and gets 3 or 4 visits a week from him and 1 a week from me - after a very long week I am not to thrilled about not even being able to relax when I get home .... I see a very early bedtime for me. Would you want to trade hubby's???? lol - I thought not. :)
