I mostly do, until the grandkids come. Them my darling Davis, little grandboy gets the room because it has a bed in it. When he comes I pretty much dismantle my large peg board and remove all of the sewing machines and anything else that might be damaged by inquisitive little minds!! Our lovely Lila is not yet old enough to worry about -still in a pack and play when they come to visit. But as she grows - yikes!!!! Truly though, I would give up my designated sewing space in a minute if those kids lived close enought to sleep an Nom Noms house every week!!! And, even when it is my sewing room I have to cut on the dining room table. I've had a huge June Taylor cutting mat on the DR table for so long my husband is convinced that it is just a really ugly table cloth!!!
