I gave away my bedroom set in my spare bedroom and made it my sewing room. It is plum full now. Has been for a few years. My kids have still not forgiven me. They live 8 hours away in the San Juan Island and I live in northeastern Oregon. I put them up in a nice hotel when they come to visit, but it hurts their feelings. My daughter hasn't been here in 2 years. My son was here 3 months ago. He comes once a year. They expect me to keep that room open for them for sporadic visits and to do without a sewing room just for them. I don't understand their logic. I don't work and this is my hobby. It's what I do now. They each have 10 quilts, so they know I spend a lot of time sewing, so why don't they let me be? Why try to make me feel bad that I converted the bedroom to a sewing room for myself? The other bedroom is a computer room and my husband's work room/fishing/hunting room. I don't think I would have tried to make my mom feel guilty if she would have done something like this.
