A nice weekend in SO CA. DS is with his father. I have been working on a
quilt doing the Hummel Embroideries on my machine. On Wednesday night I
was working on block 14 when BAM, machine decides it wants to get sick.
Tons of rats nest on the bottom of the embroidery. I cry. I change
needle, clean everything. Try again, nope, machine is sick. Off to the
doctors on Thursday just before I have a people Dr. Appt for a severely
sprained foot. They tell me that if I am lucky I can have machine back
on Saturday. Call Saturday morning. Told no way I will have the machine
until Tuesday. I want to work on the quilt. I want to quilt. I have the
time to quilt. Why oh why does my machine do this to me????

OK, rant over

        It's your machine's way of getting attention. Your machine is at
the "spa" just now getting some well needed rest and attention. You
can take this time to tidy your sewing room, make a nice cup of tea,
leaf though your magazines to remind yourself of projects you want to
do (or find a new one), direct yourself to your other hobbies
(gardening? preserving? knitting? etc...)
        When you're reunited, you'll both be well rested and ready to go.
It *is* frustrating... try to divert your attention somehow. Let me
know if you want a crash course in Russian, for example. :)

Sounds like a chocolate situation if ever there was one!

Your machine is getting pushy and self centered because he is an only
child. You need a new machine, a better machine even, to put that fussy
one in its place. A little competition will make the naughty machine
behave.

:~D then my Janome must be suffering from middle child syndrome cause it is
acting up too! having to use the lovely aged Bernina to do my sewing these
days... Don't even want to think how sad the old Whites are right now. Or
the Sears green machine or the beautiful Singer that needs repairs... those
haven't been touched in years....

back up to the studio i go
