Thoughts on arrival of new machines

Hey, I can't get there, but boy, do I like the idea of a chocolate IV! If
it doens't go into the body via the mouth, there's no calories, right?

Hey Diana, I am in Plano. If you need a birthing partner I would gladly
step in. I can hook up the chocolate IV too.

decided on my dream machine was almost as painful as 31 hours of labor. LOL
When the announcement of the machine is made we all want to know the name
and model, when did it get here, etc. This is always followed by the
appropriate ohhhs and awwws and words of congratulations.

I think we should have sewing machine showers as we do for our babies!

I love this idea, Val! Especially the part where we get
all-expenses-paid trips to England and other parts in order to attend.

As proud ''parent'' arrives home with "the new baby" all the sewing
friends
are there for the shower. No discouraging words would be uttered about the
type of machine brought home anymore than the comments of "why didn't you
get a boy/girl instead", "why didn't you get one with hair" would be at
all
socially acceptable. All gushing would be positive and complimentary as
well
as the stories that would circulate through the group about "when my baby
arrived". Gifts would include lots of accessory feet, little bags of
bobbins
and bobbin holders, a new machine dust cover, lovely thread assortments,
packages of needles and spare light bulbs, how to books, gizmos you'd love
but could never afford or justify getting yourself, perhaps the truly
close
friends and family could go together to get the new baby a lovely
bassinet,
er, custom sewing table, fat quarters or other appropriate fabric rolled
into the cute"cake" form and lovingly presented. There would, of course be
good food and beverages, perhaps some of those lame name the baby games.
I'm
sure you get my drift....

I can just see it now......"Where are you going dear?" "Oh, I'm off to
England, Kate's new treadle has arrived and the girls are giving her a
shower." or "I'll be leaving for the airport now, honey, feed the kids and
the dog has to be at the vet on Tuesday, I'm heading to New York, the
little
Janome arrives tomorrow!" ~blowing kisses~

Boy, it's getting late, I've been at my machine most of the day and
obviously my mind is beginning to farkle. LOL

Val

I love this idea! Perhaps we could have a virtual shower? I need to come
up with a name for my new baby. She doesn't come until the 27th at the
earliest as they didn't have one in stock. Any suggestions?

Are you registered at Joann's?


Excellent idea! One should register at Joann's,
Hancock's, and any other available store - this opens up a
whole new world for them, too.

Not to mention themed gift wrap, party decorations,
invitations, and the whole nine yards (a particularly apt
expression in this case.)

I rather like this idea, and it makes as much sense to me
as any other "shower" that I've ever been invited to attend.

BTW, my new serger is in. I just have to drive 200 miles
RT to pick it up. Should I order refreshments, too? ;-)

What time is the shower? I'll bring cookies and a bottle of
bubbly for a toast. Not a magnum, surely the airline would accuse
me of carrying a weapon. If we all bring a thimble we can toast
the new arrival with a thimbleful. Seems fitting.


Thank you Jean. I do need a magnum, though, since I drove
there yesterday, only to find that she had closed the
store an hour before I arrived. I noticed a sign "Cross
Traffic" and thought to myself that they ain't seen
nuthin' yet. Then I realized that life is about the
journey, not the goal. So I shall be making the drive
again, after carefully ascertaining that the store will be
open when I arrive.

I guess I went through a form of Braxton Hicks yesterday
My new sewing machine was to come by plane yesterday
and around 6 p.m. I was told false alarm . My new machines arrival
is postponed to a later date. Actually it is being gifted to me
and the lady giving it to me had to cancel her trip do to an
emergency at work. Back to pacing the floor and waiting,
yes much like the last weeks of labor.

I feel your pain.

I feel that way about the latest Pattern Master Boutique upgrade due on
September 30, and it doesn't help any that Wild Ginger is putting up
Sneak Peeks of screen shots on their web site. It makes me want to
schedule a Cesarean LOLOLOL!
