well with the storm coming, I will stop and get my milk and eggs today and this weekend it will be sewing, baking and digging out the attic stuff... i can walk around in my attic, so i just stay up there and play! I should just make it my sewing room and be done with it..

That is exactly what I was thinking!! Your own little hide-a-way!!

Perfect thought!! Out of sight, out of mind!!!

When you aren't sewing, the evidence doesn't disturb the rest of the family life and you can just leave it as is, til you return.

When you are there, maybe everyone will forget about you and give you lots of peace and quiet to piece away!! :)

Just be sure to insulate well, and install a/c and good heating or you'll be hot as H E doublle hockey sticks in the summer and the opposite in the winter! :)

And bonus ..... you can have all the sewing machines for your nieces sitting in a row, waiting each of their sewing visits!

My little sewing room means so much to me...it's my own space. Even though DH occasionally sews in there too, it's still "MY" space. When he's watching something on TV I don't care for, I go in and watch TV and find some project to work on. If I'm working on a specific project, the TV just becomes my background noise.

Same here. My son gets annoyed when I ask him what happened during a program. He snaps back, weren't you watching? Of course not! I'm sewing!

Stay safe! DD is just outside of Philadelphia; I'm a little worried about her, but nothing to do but wait and see. Either way, it looks like it'll be a good weekend for the folks in eastern PAto stay inside and sew!

Well, enjoy your sewing weekend. We're supposed to have beautiful weather all weekend but I'm still planning to be in the sewing room tomorrow. Stay safe.

ah, the joy of quilting all weekend! I would have to go on a retreat to do that! Or so it seems!

before I can sew on Saturday, we have corn to get in the freezer before the power may go out! Oh my. That doesn't sound good at all. Dh did get a lot of ice for the freezer too.
