Love this saying.

In Dutch we get it right even in a dictionary: needlework (borduren or handwerken) comes before housework (opruimen or schoonmaken). And my house shows that it is not just a nice, theory LOL.

One could say the same for housework and machine embroidery, too. I'm with you!

Housework also comes before sewing...in the dictionary that is. Not here though,no housework today, just sewed. I like her way of thinking. A friend from church came one day this week to sew with me. I had a 6 foot table (for cutting) in my hallway. She glanced into the spare bedroom and saw I had 3 stacks of fabric on the dresser. She told my husband, "She's just taking over the house with her sewing". Of course I had to scold her, with a elbow in her side and a "SH-h-h-h", be quiet. I told her I didn't see why we couldn't just get rid of the bedroom set and take the wall out between that room and my sewing room. It would make me a nice size sewing/Quilting room....Then I could get one of those Grace quilting frames, a long arm machine, put it in my expanded room and use up my stash!-lol

I think we need to create a new word that starts with an A for stitching,
