Take a look...this is a great lil room.
Ohhhhh, I need one so badly, just like that, with all the furnishings included. Absolutely love the illusion cube wall hanging.

Husband and I have been divorced over 20 years and my children didn't want it. If you think your children will want to inherit it, ask them, then send it to live with them. I tell you it is the most freeing thing you will ever do.
Just curious, did you join FlyLady? That sure is part of her philosophy, along with 15 min at a time! Just lover her.

I tried flylady a few years ago but was really inspired buy the book "Simply Your Life". The basic premise is everything you keep costs to keep it. You have to dust it, maintain it, and pay for the space it occupys. Clutter also costs you time, and at 52, I don't want to waste my time doing things that frustrate me.

great job

here is my sewing space which is only very small compared to some of your beautiful sewing rooms. I have to keep it neat and tidy because it is in our lounge and it is also our office/computer area..alright maybe i am a bit of a neat freak!
My stash is also very pitiful compared to many of you but I happily spend many hours creating and one day when my boys move out then I will have a whole room to spread out in!

Love the room and your sewing space. I see some empty spots that I would be filling up. Aren't you glad I'm not there?
