Love it!! Too funny

I constantly worry that my husband will come home before I'm neatly put together. LOL

Hmmm - I agree with you - there is too little time for sewing as it is without all that beauty care stuff. Maybe the French chalk might be useful to help avoid slipping when free motion quilting but I'll stick to my Machingers' gloves! Oh - and please tell the lady in the photo that sticking pins into that pincushion she has wrapped around the frame will ruin the decals on her beautiful sewing machine. The results are a common sight in antique shops ... :-)

Had to laugh at the 1949 sewing advice. Maybe even a few gals in 1949 were laughing too.

I sew just fine without any makeup or lipstick- always have! As for the dirty dishes in the sink - they don't affect my sewing at all.
There are a couple of urgent housekeeping chores, but they only occur when there is something like a burst pipe - and you want to deal with that quickly so your fabric doesn't get wet and moldy.

Oh I LOVED this! You even got a big chuckle out of my husband with the 'leave a number for takeout'. I enjoy days best with all your 'now' comments :)!

Lol!! I am always covered in threads and fabric "crumbs". Yoga pants? Yes, please

My husband would wonder what I was up to if he came home and I was neatly put together!

2016 - my style of quilting. Only one exception -wear shoes, if you step on a wandering pin it could really interrupt your sewing. LOL

Love it!

I even have a sign that says "Housework makes you ugly" I believe it

Great post!! Loved it!!
Loved seeing the "then", but I think I can relate more to the "now"!!!

Really, that is what they thought in 1949? My Mom and Dad were married that year, and I am sure my Mom did not participate in those rules at all. She was more of the camp where things get done when they have too. So if she wanted to sew that was what she did. Housework and looking nice were secondary. Now she did cook and have meals on time for us to eat, or more likely she made sure all the kids knew how to cook and made us practice so she could continue sewing. There are times that I do have to clean up the kitchen before I can sew, just because it makes me feel better to have it out of the way, and actually gives me a better excuse for eating out, don't want to mess up the kitchen.

We've come along way. Thank goodness.

oh my.

Can you believe it? To think our mothers or grandmothers actually might have listened to this kind of advice! We've come a long way, baby!

Great advise! Love it!

What a great way to start my Friday! L-O-L

Thanks for a very much needed laugh (after butting heads with multiple things computer-related this morning) - Love Margaret L's comment ;-)

I'm off to the basement to quilt sans makeup. The only household emergency that would maybe stop me is if I had that big ball of green slime oozing out of the kitchen like in the Geico commercial. Thanks for the always fun and refreshing posts!

Awesome! Although, I have to say my husband would never want the bed unmade or dishes not done. He would take care of it himself! I was up sewing till 2 am. He's in the bed so there's no problem! Thanks for this. I'm printing it up and putting it on my sewing room door!

You made my day with this!

Fantastic!!!

LOL!! Love this!!

Laughed so hard I cried.

The advice is very funny. Don't they know that we sew or qullt in order to avoid the mess and clutter in the kitchen and living room?
I have a question on another topic and can't find a way to e-mail directly. I want to purchase some black bella and would like to know if Super Black is blacker than regular black (9900-99)

Your best one yet ! LOL !

Well, I'm glad you cleared that up!
