Oh, I know, I know! We could have a world tour, going from house to house and organizing sewing rooms! We could spend 2 or 3 days at each house and then move on to the next one!

Now, where did I leave the jet?

when I get the energy I'm switching rooms too, when we built our 3 br house I used the bigger extra br for guest, I wasn't really sewing at the time, still in a daydream over the house, we went from a 10X50 trailer into a huge 3 br house on 5 acres, I was satisfied to just come home and clean and walk around for at least 2 years! My husband said to put a sign on the door " Check out time is 11:00 AM! we rarely have overnite company and I really need more space, maybe in the fall when it's cooler.
congrats on your new space.
since we can't afford to go around the world helping to fix up each other's space, maybe we could pitch it as a new reality tv show and get sponsers! of course we'd have to take turns being hostess!
what a dream

Ya'll, please come to my house to organize and arrange my room! I've moved from on top of the washing machine in the laundry room to 1 corner of the guest room (We only have a 2 bdr. house :roll: ). There just plain ISN"T enough room in this house!! But, either I'll come on the tour with ya'll :mrgreen: (hows that for inviting myself) or you can all stop on by here..although since I've taken the guest room....I have NO idea where any of you will sleep :oops:

Bulletin boards are fantastic!! Another option is to make one of those ribbon message boards. I helped Mum make one for her sewing room and I loved how it turned out! I plan to have one in my future sewing room!
