My sewing room is in the basement. Which is okay with me mostly ....... but I do feel cut off from my hubby who is up stairs. I always sew in marathons (I sew all day, I haven't figured out the 15 minute sew time some of you do) so I don't see him all day. It works for us as he likes sports and reading and I like home improvements shows, etc. But it is lonely down there.
