Minimum Effort, Maximum Output

There is something fantastic about hearing the buzz of machines hard at work while I am not. My favorite sounds? My Bernina wizzing away at machine embroidery, my dishwasher doing what I hate, and of course, my washing machine saving me from beating clothes on a rock down by the river. Minimum effort, maximum output. Isn't technology great?

  1. Now they just need to invent an automatic mopping machine.

    I have a steam mop and I love it. But it still requires me to go push it around the floor.

    Or hire a cleaning lady to push it around the floor.

  2. awesome design! Your stuff is so cool!
    I too love to hear the dishwasher chugging away. Too bad I procrastinate actually putting the dishes IN. If you were to see my sink and counter right now...ew...yeah....I need to put that dishwasher to work.

  6. Love your designs and creations. I'm always aspiring to make something beautiful, but always find excuses not to start. What Bernina do you work with? I think something like that would be a perfect match for me as I enjoy being a part time graphic designer and aspire to sew.
