Well, location is everything, they say. :-)
Is there any chance you could move it to another room?
I know exactly what you mean...I used to have my sewing stuff upstairs in the "attic room" -- and I just could never bring myself to go up there and sew. It just felt like I was away from all the "action in the house" (even if I was home by myself).
Now that I have moved my "mess" down to the main floor, I sew every single day. Maybe you would feel the same way?
