I have a small inexpensive sewing machine for those times when I feel the need to do something of that nature which isn't often but something that because I full time need for 'those times' I mostly do hand work crochet flat stuff although would like to expand my horizons trying my hand at knitting and would like to do more than just the dish clothes...took up Swedish Weave my husband painted if you want to do it there is usually a place to place it...even took up working on jewelry beading been so long since I've done it cant remember the name but have stuff for that and of course there is the books and movies again if you want you find the space for it ....and something else won't be with you sheila
