Mom wants to get back into sewing.
So been taking acre of my mom why has a lot of disabilities. Been taking care of her for years and now I get paid to do it. At the very least that alleviates the bill situation and I can get the things we need and some wants. She kept mentioning she wanted a sewing table so she could set up her machine sew again. I'm all for it as it will get her away from her damn laptop for a bit and have her move around a bit. I'm just curious if she will recall how the machine works. It's been years since she used and things for her have changed. I know how to repair, build and fix a computer but a sewing machine is just a completely different animal. I'm lost just looking at the internals. She has a big old Singer.
In the past when my mom would ask for things and her then husband would go buy what he thinks was good and have it be a surprise. I knew she wasn't happy about that shit, but she kept quiet. I made sure she picked out the table she wanted and double and triple checked that she was good with her choice. Pointed out some things like if it was too long to fit in the designated space it would have to go and how accessible it was with using a wheel chair. Other than that let her pick what she wanted. I want my mom to be happy, but also safe.
We'll see how this goes.
