About 8 years ago my DAD helped me with a sewing room, just like what you and your DH saw. The one we got was only 10X10, but it was fun to put up (I learned to use POWER TOOLS, it was a blast!!!!). After it was finished I asked my dad if he would put up a few shelves for me (I worked at Hancock Fabrics). I was at work and he started my shelves without knowing what I wanted. He maded the back wall ALL shelves (only 3), but I can fit BOLTS of fabric standing up (he knew that I would put my fabric back onto the bold after washing and ironing it, so he made sure I could put my fabric two bolts deep standing on end). My dad is gone now, but my sewing room GOES ON. I covered the wall with all of the OLD patterns (out dated), like wall paper. So when you walk in you always know what the room was made for. So I think if you want one, go for it!!!!

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.

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

Someone upthread said the yurt wouldn't be big enough.
But - and someone correct my math - wouldn't the 30 ft be around 700 sqft of space?
That seems like a pretty nice size. Sewing area, longarm, stash storage, desk, small kitchen area, a cot for naps. I'd never leave. ;-) I'd visit the house a couple of time a week....to restock and pick up the mail.
Here's the gallery:

I saw a pic from another manufacturer where 2 were linked, doubling the space.
And Linzi Upton used a yurt to display quilts:
