I say do what pleases you. If you can afford it, and have the space, have fun. I have little space, but feel lucky to have a room for sewing,even if it is actually half the bedroom. Jim never complains, and compliments me and my abilities often. I used to worry about the "horn" too. (turned 63 in Feb.)I wondered who would pick up where I left off. Now it does not bother me. I will go when called. (guess that is why I have so many UFO's). :-)
