Thank you for your kind comments, ladies. It really is my special place. My family knows that when I am in there sewing, and listening to Stewart McLean on the Vinyl Cafe on Sundays, it's like i'm not even home. No knocking on the door, no asking any questions that begin with "Mom, where is ......?" It is my haven! Even if they don't hear the machines going, they know I might be just looking at my fabric, and fondling it.
