But...I would simple feel in heaven if I had a nice large sewing room!
When I was a teenager, running around the house barefoot, I accidentally stepped on a needle which had gotten embedded in the carpet fibers on our stairs. It broke off at the skin when I jumped and had to be removed in the emergency room (my Dad's a doctor but I wouldn't let him cut it out at home). My Mom's sewing room was in the basement, and it was a good place for it. Still, my husband and I have carpet everywhere in our house, so I'm extra careful with pins and needles and don't go barefoot anymore.
