I'm in south Texas, about a 2 hour drive to Galveston. Normally it doesn't get that cold here, except now. We are expected to go into the 20's for the next 3 days. Yes, I do have a heater and a/c.

Yes, I do have a tv. I mostly just listen to it. And the antlers.... My hubby and I do enjoy hunting together.

Now we both have our own private santuary.

I can tell you, I haven't yet started sewing in it yet. The last two time I went into it, I just sat there and stared. It's still like a dream. Glad to hear you are getting one, too. Be sure to post some pics when yours is finished.

Anyway, enjoy your new space and please tell your husband I think he did an awesone job!:)/ Lissa

I have a Viking (about 3 years old). I just bought a Juki serger. Always wanted one, so I will have to learn it. Been sewing for 35 years, quilting for 15, crocheting for 20. Starting a side business altering and mending ( live in small rural area) but will still keep making quilts and crocheting. Oh! My ironing board is in the corner opposite of my "cozy space" I have the quilt top on my old 1930 wooden board.

When I get mine finished I may just go in there, lock the door & not come out for a while. Just enjoy the peace & solitude. Told Dh I was gonna get me a mini frig & only have to come out to pee. IF I can figure out how to move DSL, I may even move my computer too. I need a solitude place as I have 2 DGS's living with me (5&3) & grammie needs a break. I think I have been thru Cat Springs before. I remember daddy talking about it. It's suppose to be 17 degrees here later part of the week. I can't remember the last time it was this cold in East Texas. In 1982 it was -5 for 3 days & washer froze up. Left towels in there & couldn't get them out. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Did you tell him what nights he could visit? At least he will always know where to find you. Bless his little heart. What a lovely place.

Oh WOW! You have a beautiful space! Can we see the outside too?
DH wants to build a studio for me but I'm not sure I want to go outside the house. In the winter it would be through snow. And I sneak into my workroom when I am suppose to be doing house work. He might notice I'm avoiding the chores if I had to go to another building. Hmmm...Maybe he should build a guest house so I can take over the other 2 bedrooms.
