I found my little bear, Quilty, (I'm so original, I know) at the thrift store for 99 cents. Of course I had to save him from some child's eager little hands. LOL.
My room isn't as maze-like as it might seem. I can walk all the way around the sewing desk, and when I'm sitting in my chair, I have rolling access to everything except the paint and beading supplies.
DH has his "office" in the room on one side of mine and our master bedroom is on the other side. So both his and my rooms are pass thru rooms into the master bedroom suite. That way, when all the kids and grandbrats are visiting at once, we have a door to lock and 2 rooms of sound barrier to hide behind when we need a break or some sleep. LOL.
So that's why the desk sits in the middle with walkway all the way around it. In the photo it looks like you can't get around it, but I can.
I do my cutting on top of the hottub. It's the perfect height and size for me.
I have a bin with a lid for current projects, so when I'm not working on it, I just put it in the bin so it LOOKS tidy. LOL.
