I've got plenty of fabric and patterns. Decent enough sewing machine, serger and coverstitch machine. Any good sewing related suggestions??

Sorry, but I'm terribly practical when it comes to gifts.

Preferably wrapped around a box of chocs. ------ so many patterns, clamouring to be sewn http://patternpandemonium.wordpress.com/

Was so touched that she cared enough to go out of her way to send it to me.. It came on one of those days I really needed a pick me up.... So I say there is no better gift than true friendship on Valentines Day.. Although red velvet wrapped around chocolates would have been a great gift too..

Or, go see a romantic old movie at some movie festival, a dinner/movie place, or your living room. Keep your sketch pad handy. A patio lunch in a people watching neighborhood? See if there are any design combinations that are intriguing? Something to bring music into your sewing space? Threads Archival DVD? Electronic sketch pad like a Waacom Bamboo? Netflix - don't laugh - I've been enjoying having Netflix on the ipad when I work on the computer or in the sewing room. It is more than just tv shows and movies. An evening alone with no phone, no smart phone, no texting, no emails --- no sewing ------ I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.

I could probably use a steam iron. I only have a dry one at the moment. More fabric and chocolate is always needed. I love shoes but rarely find a size 5 in stores anymore. You should see the horridly pink, shiny silver and more pink children's running shoes I bought recently out of desperation. A trip to a fashion museum would be great. Even greater if they let me touch the stuff. a7yrstitch I have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime that has video streaming and occasionally watch the Suze Orman show free on iTunes. Love catching up on show while sewing. I was also thinking of a subscription to Burda magazine. Oh the choices.

And, what a great plan; there is at least one other PR member who will want to wear a fellow out/down with sewing gifts. All fun aside, congratulations. ------ I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.
