What will you never do again in your sewing/quilting room?
Oh my, today I entered my sewing room with a full cup of coffee. In there my floor is my design wall, hehe. And yes, for my current quilt top I did put the finished blocks on the floor. U know what happened? I think so! I stumbled over the door sill, and the coffee met every single block! So what did I learned? Never do tiny steps while enter my sewing room!
Another thing I learned is: Never walk barefoot in a sewing room if there is a chance you can hit a pin with your blank feet.
Is there anything you learned? Anything you will never do again?

Well, ya know how when a paper towel is stuck to the bottom of a cup, you can sometimes unstick it (one-handed), by quickly jerking the cup upward? I've learned to not do that, when the cup contains hot tea. I would say, "in my sewing area," but am hoping I've learned not to do it, period. 
At least my tea only splashed onto the floor and me.

Sometimes I wonder if I'll actually sew in there....haha. I think I spend more time and money shopping & planning my projects than actually working on them. And now, I've discovered this board, and am spending hours reading and replying instead of doing something.

Ruh-roh. What an awful feeling that must've been. I have been tempted to take coffee in there, but am such a klutz that I make myself drink only water (or sometimes white wine) when I'm in there. If I want to live dangerously, I go to the kitchen for coffee and steer clear of anything that looks like a victim.

Nothing goes in my sewing room to eat or drink with the exception of bottled water or a tall glass of ice water. I do keep a 32 oz. bottle of water for my iron. The office is a whole nuther thing. I sometimes eat lunch in the office and have coffee in the morning while at the computer. Again my design wall is portable. I can put it on a couple hangers and hang it up on my window. I sometimes use my bed (qn sz). I have too much dog hair and don't want to jeapordize having a lot of extra fur.

I have stopped making my sewing room into an office, I made all the bills out for 41 years of my marriage, my husband retired last year and now it is his turn. I would get so many papers and receipts all over my desk that I couldn't find my sewing machine. I actually hated to go in there. No more! I'm actually excited!!!

I almost did the same as you did LOL. I took a cup of hot cocoa to my sewing machine because 'I was in a hurry' , put it some distance from the machine, but when turning the fabric...... do I need to say more ROFL. Although I wasn't laughing at the time !
