Wonderful rooms!! I think yours are still neater than mine :oops:

I am sitting here smiling b/c you have two great sewing rooms that are "organized for you" and you know where everything is :).
Both rooms look well and truly used--lots of happy times!

Know what? I love your rooms....and, oh how I'd love to have 2 rooms. I know both would be jam-packed. My sewing room looks much like yours do, but I always (well, almost always) know where everything is, though one of my seam rippers is missing in action. My mother saw my room last weekend and said, "Dear God, how can you work in this mess?" Direct quote. :roll: I told her that I had no problem whatsoever.

Thanks for posting the pictures!

I can picture you going in these rooms and saying it's right over here. And you find it and get back to work.

Isn't it great to have your "own little world" where everything is just what and where you want it. We're all happy for you and just a little envious, too.

I am soooo PROUD of you!
A REAL woman with a REAL sewing room! LOL
It almost looked like home, except that you could walk in both of your rooms! LOL
I looked very carefully to see if you have boxes stacked on boxes in front of boxes stacked on boxes ... but, you are too organized for that! LOL
I really warmed up to the shelves with the fabric almost falling off <g>
Thanks for helping me feel at home! LOL

Terri - the biggest problem with leaving one place behind and going to the other is that it takes a while to remember that the fabric I'm looking for is in the OTHER house. The AZ room is much neater, because the house is all on one floor! It's easier to just let everything hang out on the 2nd floor!

In CT, a good friend & neighbor, who is also the guy who does the annual on our furnace, checks our house WEEKLY and whenever there's a storm or power outage. Our postman does double duty - waters houseplants and mows the lawn as needed before we return in the spring.

I email a good friend who also loves to clean and pay her to remove all signs of mice before we return in the spring! Love her :lol:

In AZ, our neighbors are watchful, and we have a deal going with one of them: DH buys the Roundup (weedkiller) for both yards, and Jeff sprays our 'natural landscaping' - mostly gravel, with a few cacti that he DOESN'T spray- as well as his. That keeps the city of Tucson and the rest of our neighbors happy, and our house doesn't look abandoned!

I've gradually built up my sewing supplies in AZ using JoAnn's and Michael's coupons and on-line sales plus many things from my Mom's sewing room. While she was still alive and living in a retirement apartment with 2 big bedrooms (we were using the house she and Daddy retired to from CA in 1978), we shared one of her BRs, which was HUGE as a sewing room. That was GREAT. DH knows that the most peaceful way for him to live is for me to have a Pfaff, so he gave me one in AZ several years ago.

WOW!
I don't know if I could do what you do, going back and forth. I assume you fly back and forth to each place and have a car at each place?
I'd be the one to get up to CT and stay. Just something about New England...love it there.

Me, too - except in the winter! I used to love it, but my bones are too old!
