I must congratulate your attitude. I feel the same way about my sewing room. The room use to be a nursery with built ins. DH put in a computer, desk, then a TV. During the day the only reason to leave this room is to eat! Love it here. It is my space!

What sewing area? I steal a corner from the kitchen when I sew. Then it has to be cleaned up before the next meal...
:-(

My sewing room is so inviting , it's on the verge of being 'stalker-ish'... I've had several occaisions where the door shut just as I was trying to leave... so, what else could I do but stay?!

Ditto:
The same for mine!! I have it in the basement with a walk out door, but all is welcome to come and go, sometimes it gets messy, sometimes it's not...

Not at the moment *pouts* It's a total mess! I haven't wanted to be down there in months.

My sewing room invites me to do many things.

One of them is to have equal time with this computer.

You and I would get along GREAT!! :thumbup:


My sewing room is your sewing room anytime.
I love to share.

I'll come sew in your room when I come to visit my daughter. OK?

I have pictures on the wall and a small quilt hangs on the wall at my sewing machine.
In homemec we were told 'a place for everthing,
and everything in its place'. And I have continued this throughout my house, sewing room included. :thumbup:

That is exactly how I like to do things. I have a little Shark Vacuumn in my sewing room and pick up all the treads that missed my trash bin after sewing for the day too. Love it that way.

I have a multiple hundred dollar cat hammock in my sewing room. I bought a Gracie and have a practice peice on it. Anytime I am in there both cats must be on it lounging. I really don't mind now but when I put on a real quilt I must find a way to keep thim off. Otherwise my room is normally in a huge mess. I am with Teri. If I put things away I can't find a thing.
