Mathew, you'll find that time here doesn't really exist. I don't know of any lounge lizard who is not mega-busy all the time, for all sorts of reasons. The little mug rugs just fit in, somehow, sometime, and there is never a deadline. I'm sure that for most of us mug rug deadlines would spoil the fun. Have fun with your machine. I bet you'll fall in love with it very quickly.
I have had an 'interesting' week (again!) in school, and so didn't make it to the local post office. There are two little mug rugs that sit, all wrapped up and ready to fly, and now have to wait till Monday or Tuesday..... That's Life!
