Before we retired my sewing room was a corner of our bedroom. After we retired I got one whole bedroom to myself (the small one). When we built my sewing room moved to the bonus room above the garage and I loved it. It felt so big. Then I lost my DH and moved closer to family. Now I have the whole basement to sew in and I love it. My DH would be down there watching TV and making jokes while I sewed if he was still here. I keep one of his pictures down there with me to remind me to smile and not take life too serious.
