I turned a extra bedroom into a sewing room and love it. I used to sew in the dining room and like others on the board if people come over I sure hope they come to see me!! I like having a separate area so I can leave things out. Everyone have a wonderful weekend.

A month or so ago, I found a list of acronyms on this site that was four pages long. And I found that QOV was not on it. I later found out that was Quilts of Valor. There are some on your list that weren't on the other list. BTW, I hate acronyms! But now that I am learning a little more about what they mean, it's not so bad. I have my list printed out, and just have to go to my "dictionary" to find out what they mean.

If I was the only one living in this house what I have as our bedroom would become my sewing room and I would sleep on the twin bed in the room used as spare room/office. I also am spread out into the living room and I would spread out even more if it was only me. Nobody comes to see me anyway except the youngest DD and that is where I would need a daybed. Would get rid of all the other misc junk that DH thinks he needs. He saves newspapers and mags til I throw them and then he wants one of them. I told him too bad --gone.

I bought 47 yards of new fabric a couple of days ago and DH never noticed. Even when it was in a laundry basket waiting for it's turn in the washer. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. Either I have too much fabric (NOT) or he just doesn't notice things! LOL My stash now covers an entire wall in my sewing room and I love it!
