In nice weather I sew in my family room which has a triple glass door looks out to the pool. Occassionally I look up at the water. When its really hot the doors are closed and the AC is on and in bad wether which is when I love to sew the most CH is on and I'm snug with my quilting. Life is good. My fur babies prefer to stay in with me but can come and go and still see me through all the glass.
