To Sew, or Not to Sew???

For months I've been asking for a sewing machine; Chris finally got me one for Mother's Day. It ended up sitting in the box the entire time. So, the question was: Should I keep the sewing machine that I'll use a few times a year, or should I get Maiki a sweet playhouse, and sew at someone else's house? As you can see from the pictures I decided to get Maiki a house. =)
