    I LOST my sewing room… :cry: ..The room where I was sooooo happy to “play” all day, where my gal pals came to sew with me (okay, it was cramped, but still fun). The place I was happy to just be in…I’ve been so sad without it for the past several months that I haven’t completed anything, heck I’ve barely sewn anything…

    So what did I do? I pulled myself out of my frunk and took over the formal living and dining rooms! As Carol Doak once said, “Who needs those anyway?” :wink: We tore the carpet out of both rooms, threw down temporary floor cover, and then moved all the fun in! Now I have space to stretch out, and room to have a couple friends sewing at once. And… and I’ll have a much larger design wall soon!

    I’m doing a happy dance! :-D

    I really want to do the same thing, but my dh is slightly resistant. I say slightly because I'm getting a Juki with frame and he has agreed to put it in the living room.

    This will get my foot in the door.

    LOL!

    Happy dance! I've thought about taking over the living room several times. I watch tv in my sewing room, the kid has one in his room, and SO watches in his office. We use the living room about once a month.
