the sewing room is this week!

Good luck with your knee replacement. Hope things go well and you have a speedy and complete recovery. Several of my friends had both knees done at the same time and are so thrilled to be pain free today. Yes, it's very hard to clean house when you are in pain anywhere. I badly sprained my knee 2 years ago and it took a full 18 months for it to recover. My husband said I'd have been better off had it been a tear as they'd have done surgery but it's great now. The cleaning will wait until you get to it and hopefully you'll feel more like doing it after your recovery and rehab. Like you, I too insist on leaving the clean house to come back to and it's so nice. I had major abdominal surgery 2 years ago with a 5 month recovery during which my husband did an amazing job of tending to things but he didn't dust. LOL. Dust is minor.
Hugs
Patty

It is well organized at the moment. Hopefully I can keep it that way but doubt it. LOL

Thank you and yes I do. It's a dream to sew with. Liked to test my patience a few times as I've never had a machine quite so smart and had to get my free class in to learn to do things right. LOL. It's wonderful.

ROFL. Thank you. I'd love to have a jar of chocolates but due to allergies, my chocolate intake is limited to when I absoluely HAVE to have chocolate and then I do pay a price - but do it anyway and they are NEVER anywhere near my quilting as I'm messy. Food and drink are NEVER anywhere near my quilting. LOL. I find I eat less when I quilt though so that's a nice side effect but it sure would be nice for my restraint to be more visible on me. Probably that sedentary thing defeats the purpose. LOL>

Thank you yes, I've very lucky to have the space and had to talk hard to convince my husband that I HAD to have it. I had it in IL and told him that relocating was a deal breaker if I didn't have a computer/sewing room of my own and now he's pleased that I do. He had no idea how much space I took up and that is after I eliminated half of my stuff before relocating to FL for retirement.

I've NEVER had room to work before. Have the Special Olympics truck coming Wedns to pickup items which cannot fit. I've commited to, "it fits, or it goes." Feels good to let go somehow. There have been so many awesome suggestions on how to organize, which I am implementing... I am so grateful for this website, and everybody's wisdom!!!

Thank you. I agree but it's all so very worth it. We're making some wonderful memories to treasure by all of us and getting some great photos to treasure as well.
