    Your fabric looks fantastic! When we moved into our home ten years ago, I took the smallest bedroom as my sewing room, and now I have a long arm in the family room on our walkout level too. DH knows very well the extent of my passion!�� Enjoy your retirement.

    You did the right thing by buying fabric BEFORE retirement. I made the big mistake of not doing that & now I'm kicking myself each time I get ready to make something. It looks like you have a great variety for whatever you decide to make at any time. I love your storage systems....so neat & so much! Congrats. on retirement...have fun!

    My thoughts too. After many years of working in which I'm assuming you contributed to the household I would think you would have a say in how to use "your" (not just "his") space.
    Your organization looks fantastic. If only I could get so neat.

    I also bought lots of fabric before I retired (and after!). Just wished mine looked as pretty and organized as yours!
    A job well done.
