Hi Ducky,
I am very happy for you that you were able to find a spot just for you. I think it is important to have that little space that you can create in. It is re-newing to just sit and sew there.
My hubby gets his in the family room, garage, half of the quilting table room and of course in the garden during the good months. His life is pretty hectic during the week, and he tells me all the time how he loves these spaces.
I am allergic to dust, I sneeze and sneeze around it and my eyes swell up. So, I learned early to just keep it up it is nothing much to do with a dusting wand. My favorite one is made of soft wool and is very fat. I clean and lightly oil my furniture a couple times a year. Spring and fall. The wood needs a good drink to keep it beautiful. I love the smell of the lemon oil in the house. And the smell of clean sheets to sleep in is heavenly ... add a vase of fresh cut roses, what could be more wonderful than that? I do it for me, not my company. :wink:
