If you do give her a sewing machine, give something nicer along with it.
:D What in the world could be nicer than a sewing machine? We already have a nice toaster.

:) Seriously, if I got her one she would be more :mad: that I wasted $$ on something she wouldn't use too much. She does use it and is on a kick now of making little credit card holders, kids book bags and other stuff for fun...AND...she did mention that when that GRANDbaby is born she may be interested in a new one...IF....she was still on her sewing kick...she knits, she sews, she restores furniture, she makes wine glass markers and other things....
ANYTHING she can to keep herself busy from me ;)
