When my husband and I separated I had to sell the farm. I lost my beautiful sewing room (when we built the house I designed my sewing space) and my DD,DGS and I moved into a much smaller house where I had an alcove in my bedroom to sew and the walk in closet to store my fabrics. That sort of worked for us but then I got sick and the three of us moved in with my son and his family. There is not a lot of room but I have a corner of the basement and what fabrics I could fit into suitcases are in the house and the rest is stored in the garage. We are hoping that this will only be for 1 year but since I lost my job after being on disability for 2 1/2 months who knows how long it will be for. I am finding that people don't want to hire people in their fifties no matter what your qualifications are. I am just hoping to find something soon so that we can get a place of our own again but as long as I can set up my machine and make quilts I am happy. That is my therapy and keeps me sane. Without it I'd go absolutely bananas!
