In the late spring and summer and fall if the sun shines, I take my portable table out onto my back patio and set it up and I sew from the time I get up until it gets dark outside. And I do this every single day. Hubby takes his lawn chair out and sits there and watches me sew, or doses off. I have found I get alot more accomplished when I do that. From time to time, hubby refills my glass of iced tea. Once in a great while he will bring me out lunch but thats not very often as he expects me to make all the meals, although......lately hes been making his own sandwich. And today he wanted to know what was for lunch...I told him "whatever you find" well that didnt go over too good. So I heated up leftovers and made a salad and what did he eat? The salad. The pork chops were tastier!!!
But I can't wait for the weather to get nice again so I can sit outside and sew. Today there is sunshine but really cold so I am thinking maybe Spring is Sprung.

Hey Barbara! I did the same thing this weekend, went to a party on Fri night and right next to the restaurant was a place that sells those! Dream N Sew I guess! Still keeping an eye out for your goodies!

Too funny! I am quietly trying to take over my DH's hobby room but he is not being very cooperative!

Love the yurt!

Perhaps the little shed with a stove and cot will be for HIM! Then your sewing room will officially be your house!

Cheaper than an addition or remodeling the house. ;-)

Sheesh - he just didn't get it. LOL


Speaking of sheds--- We went to breakfast 3 days ago and on the way back we saw a shed that was turned over on its side with a strap on it. We thought they were just moving it. Then I saw another "new" shed in the back yard and thought they might want to sell the old one.
My son looked at it and said it looked in good shape so he knocked on the door and ask about it. They said "take it, you move it and its yours." Well, we didn't have a flat bed trailer to move it, so my son got in the car and drove around the area and found a man with a truck that hauls cars. He paid him 40.00 to move it to our house. Now we have a place for the bikes, mower, etc.
