    For the past few months, my view is generally of my Dad at the ironing board pressing out my seams for me.

    Other than that, I get to look into the kitchen since I've been using the dining room table to sew on.

    I see the Hudson River and the New York City skyline, with the Empire State Building directly across from our apartment.

    I'm afraid I'm spoiled...I have a 2/3 acre fenced in backyard for my pups and nothing but woods behind that...gorgeous, old-growth hardwoods with a little sprinkle of pine trees in it...and of course squirrels, bunnies and an occasional deer...my hummer feeder is in the front and I have a lot of them too...but they're more interested in running each other off than actually eating! I have about a two acre front yard and the rest of my land is in trees. Beautiful all year around.

    Do you live in my sewing room & I don't know it? I guess not because in my sewing room you would see wooden mini blinds unless you made the mistake & opened them. Then you'd see my neighbor's house inches from the window. We both live on acre lots but for some reason, the houses are right on the property lines next to each other. Yes, we have unencumbered yards but I get kinda sick of listening to them...

    I see maple trees-their tops. My sewing room is on the 3rd floor.

    Wow, my view is so similar to yours! The pond is farther away and more rolling pasture to get there; the tree line is full of deciduous trees rather than pine/juniper/cedar/whatever; and my view is more open, less treed close in due to the pastures on three sides of me. Unfortunately as the lawn and pastures slope downward from the back side of the cottage, I only see this view if I'm standing, not while I'm actually sewing. Then i see the the tops of distant trees and blue skies (except on days like today which was completely overcast and gray with east cost residual from the hurricane.)

    I wish I had a camera to send you all a picture.

    Love your view. I see the neighbors' wall and the old wooden fence. I was thinking of painting sort of a lanscaping with colorful flowers and birds. But I dont think I am able to paint what I enivision so I will make sure my next house sewing window has a better view.
