Went to Home Depot last night to get some flowers and passed by all those little sheds and cabins they have set up in the parking lot. Told DH that's what I would like to have for my sewing place - just have to add a sink, microwave, refrigerator, etc. He said "you already have that - it's called our house". Sheesh - he just didn't get it. LOL

lol too funny!!!! How are you doing?

LOL!

That is too funny!

You forgot to add the cot.... to sleep on. That is just too funny.LOL

I decided my sewing room is bigger than one of those buildings so staying put. Although being out of the house would be nice. I am thinking about having his cousin enclose the front office part of his shop and fix it up. Then may think about it. ALready has a/c and heat there. Oh well, I think I will stay put. It's not like I am young and have years to use it. Thanks for making me smile today.

What you really need is a yurt:

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

I have offered to by the DH one of those sheds for his own space! So far, not working.

Rainybug, that is a good idea, with DH living out there, I would have more sewing space in here. LOL

I'm telling yous it is a plan, hehehe!

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!

Oh I would be in quilting heaven with my own yurt!!! Dh and I saw one in Pigeon Forge a few years ago and they are NICE!!

Too funny!!!! I keep hinting for hubby and son to get one of those, then their stuff can go in there and I could have two sewing rooms!!! :mrgreen: :roll: :D :D

LOL I this this is funny that he was quick to reply with such comment.

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.

lol ... my DH has a room for his hobby ... he stays in there a lot messes it up and I have the rest of the house ... I use the kitchen island and set up my hoop in the family room ... so get your DH a hobby and give him a room... it is working well so far

gee whiz That man has no imagination

too cute :)

Goldsberry I love your tat Now thats dedication :thumbup:

Funny! How cute.

There was a lady on the board not too long ago. She was building one of those Home Depot type sheds in her back yard. Was going to use that as her sewing room. I think it was 14" x 20" or something like that.

Like this I share my sewing room with my DH's computer.
I can't seem to move him into another room of the house. :-D

move the computer...my DH has computer and tv in his hobby room...it is like his "man cave"...lol...it works for me

Is that a pistol on your Quilt Notions wall!? You must get really tough when corners don't line up...or when you get too many uninvited visitors in your sewing room! (lol)

what a wonderful room, but what happens in the winter, isn't it cold and damp in the room?
I live in Oregon the snow and rainy winters would not work in this structure I don't think. but it sure looks great.

Too funny!

That would be cool. Call it a shop and he will understand where you are coming from.

No sense of humor! But that yurt looks like a possibility!

You are soooo observant, I went back to look and sure enough, it does look like the lady is packing heat! I don't think I'd be touching her fabric!!! How do you get such perfect points....S&W 357! LOL

yurt..........not big enough!!! but would be cozy. I have our three guest rooms converted to sewing rooms, this being
in addition to my sewing room!!!! assurance that kids cannot
come home to live anymore!!!!haha

Too Funny!! that's exactly the response I would get at my house.

A regular stroke of Genius! Maybe if I build him a detached garage he will let me have our current garage to expand my new sewing area into. Greedy greedy, I know!

Maybe he does - and he just gave you permission to put your sewing area into THE ENTIRE HOUSE!

They don't understand when you need to be away from your home and be by yourself.

I saw that too!! :shock: Beats a sign that says HANDS OFF!

As for who gets the most house space, I've been fighting that battle for so many I years. DH has an office that has totally occupied one upstairs bedroom. And this is a farm office, so you can imagine how upset I get when he has to come in to do some figuring straight from the tractor. :? I am not very suttle when I suggest an office in the barn. I'm afraid that if I suggested that I would like a sewing room shed, he'd make a deal that he gets to keep his office in the house!

A sewing macine on your arm, too much.
