I gave up my sewing space which I had waited 25 years for, to my son and his wife who were in transition for school. After a year they moved out. Other than hand sewing, I didn't sew for a year. Another son got married shortly after and because of transition time wanted to move in with his wife. This time to make that transition time shorter, I let them have the smaller room (exercise room) and didn't give up my space (much larger!) If mama isn't happy, nobody is happy!!! Sounds mean but they could sponge forever given the opportunity! I'm so grateful to have my space the way that I want to have it and everyone is happy! Don't feel guilty, everyone has to do what works best for them. This is what worked for me!
