If I didnt have to sleep I would be all set. :lol: :-(
I'm lucky to have an extra bedroom that I use for a sewing room. Thankfully we are empty nesters with a 3 bedroom home and very few overnite guests. I do have a *guest* bedroom but use it mainly for storage.

We put down a commercial grade carpet in our den shortly after moving in as it had the most horrible orange shag carpet. Hopefully one day I'll be able to replace the carpet in the rest of the house, but not sure with what. Being on a limited budget, I like the idea of vinyl. That is what is in my sewing room, which is why I picked that particular bedroom to sew in. Plus it's upstairs and I can *escape*. :roll: :roll:

I thought I was the only mother on earth that was that mean.
It may seem drastic but it works!

We are alone now too, but downsized from 11 rooms to 5, moved from the city to the woods. It is a day trip to buy fabric. The ups driver knows me by name lol. But I am still happy and stress free now.

Well, I finally got some pictures taken of my sewing room. I posted them in the pictures under the same title - Can't sew in my sewing room - pictures. Let me know what you think. I obviously don't have tons of fabric (yet)so I guess that helps.

I have been trying to clean my sewing room forever. Lately I spent almost two days trying to organize. I found things I didn't know I had, that was a treat. I am also letting go of other craft items Beads, clay, etc that will help the mess. I bought a labeler so I could label my plastic containers. My books and magazines are a big problem, I dread going thru them again. I know I should get rid of alot of them but I hate to let them go. But I have decided I need a peaceful area to sew in, so I am going to have to get tough with myself. Maybe I'll find some more treasures that I forgot I had!
