I never had a place to call my own untilly recently. We have a room that is 14 by 20 and that is where I go. the only problem is that we also have to use it for a guest room and that ogten means putting everything away. Of course it is worth it to see my kids. We raised our family of 8 in a 4 bedroom 2 bath home and I ran a daycare from my closed in garage so I was either scrunched in my bedroom or a corner of the LR when I wanted to sew.
