Congratulations on the sewing room even if you did have to throw the family out on their ear!
You sound like me before I converted my storage into my quilting studio. Before that I was working in my sunroom and I always had to be careful about where I put things and the lighting and so forth. Now you have everything you need within reach and not stored everywhere.
But on a second note I still have treadles all over my house and now running down my hallway.
I really need to hurry with the addition.......
