    I have just got to stay OFF CL... I have GOT to stay OFF CL... I SSSSOOOOOOOO have GOT to stay OFF CL... I am weak, I have no resolve... I found a Singer 503 I just had to buy... and told my enabler sister about it. She talked me into seeing if they would take less money. She even called the people and got a good price. Then conned me into calling them and "picking it up for her..." but really, it will be mine on Monday she lives in Arizona... DH just shrugs, rolls his eyes and says it's a good investment. What ever.

    I love your friend! And don't you dare get rid of your machine. I could have one in my sewing room and hubby would never know I had it. Just pile some fabric on it! Sounds like you had a good day.

    Could you try to use the same story for a dress he hasn't seen? "What this old thing, I've had it for years." I't been in the back of my closet. hehe

    OMG! What a decision. I am trying to come clean in my room and if it were me I would have to sell one. Just think, you could buy more fabric.

    Some call it "Sally Ann's" but I first heard it called "Sal's" and yes, it's the Salvation Army Thrift Store.
