This museum was one of the highlights of the visit, it's where I found the elusive cigarette machine art! I had to splurge and I bought three different coins so I could get three different gifts from the machine.
Let me back up....
Cigarette machine art (for more info go to http://www.artomat.org/home.html) is something I learned about a while back while visiting other crafty blogs. One of the crafters had her works displayed in the machines. I read about these machines and hoped that one day I could create something to put inside. Maybe my button rings, I thought. Or my embroidery designs. Something to do with flowers, but what? Eventually, I put it off and figured I would put that project on the back burner. Seeing it in person actually helped me realize that it was doable.

Dave Barry quote
I just read a quote somewhere (I think it was a Dave Barry quote) saying that there is a fine line between hobby and mental illness. I think that's hilarious. Though I haven't been crafting as obsessively lately as I sometimes have been known to, I can relate. The only out of control thing in my life lately is work, it seems as if 12 hour days are the norm for everyone at work lately as our company shifts and tries to make it work with fewer people.
