  I wish I had a place like that - I am really wishing for an escape right now.  Soon as I pull myself together enough, it'll be me and the meditation bench trying to transcend this mess.  I used to quilt, though, and you reminded me of another possible outlet.  I could use a few patches to hold things together at the moment and sewing is such a great way to lose yourself for a while.

  I agree with you on that, looks as if you have everything you need.

  You have a sewing room!?  You wanna do costumes for my next play?  I'm thinking Midsummer Night's Dream.... outdoors.... in the summer of 2009!  C'mon.... all those faerie costumes... we'd have a blast!

  I really does sound like you have all you need at your finger tips! Your little den! :-)

  Good for you, Mimi!  You enjoy your quilting!
   
  I love the "look" of quilting, and I even tried it once.  I was even good at it.  But it makes me a tad nuts.  Those tiny little stitches - just not enough "action" for me.  I knit, and crochet, and needlepoint, and paint.  As a matter of fact, I like the look of quilting so much one of my current projects is a crocheted afghan that has a quilted look to it.  (Hard to explain here, without visuals)  It's called patchwork crochet . . . see this pic to get a better idea of what it looks like.
   
  Be sure to snap a shot of your quilt when you're done, ok?  I'd adore seeing it.

  And now I am here, you really do have it all girl.........haha

• skald said on Apr 19, 2008....

  That sounds perfect. I have to put the sowing machine on a table when I use it and then pack it again. All according to this. Still I have my computer here and my books. I am happy for you :-)

• polarheart said on Apr 19, 2008....

  I want a room like that too!  Meems, will you copy and paste one for me?  Thanks friend! Love Pcakes

  I know it's pretty small -- I took it with the camera in my phone.  This is my sewing room.  You can't see it very well, but that's a quilt I made and gave to my mom.

  wywh -- it's a great stress reliever for me.  The repetitive nature of cutting, sewing, and pressing is very calming.

  Hi infernal, how are you doing?  You're welcome any time.

  Dee -- I could happily stay in there until further notice. :)

  queenie -- I'll be sure to post a pic.  :)

  DD -- I'm very protective of my space.  My husband's computer is in there until we finish painting the living room, and he's in there now.  I keep wanting to go in and tell him not to touch anything.  :D

  Grace -- I do knitting and some crochet as well.  Knitting is good to do while watching TV.

  Mamie -- girl, I want you in there too!  We could make matching tutus.

  mobil -- You're right,  You have arrived -- what more could a girl want?  :)

  skald -- I didn't get a sewing room until my daughter moved out.  It's her old bedroom.  I used to have to set it up on the dining room table too.  It was always a pain to have to pack it back up again., so I know what you mean.

  polarbunny -- I put a picture up for you!

  AG and quiltedone, how rude and unobservant of me.

  AG, would you believe I've sewn theatrical costumes before!  Can-can petticoats, the ones with all those ruffles.  It was a lot of fun.

  quilted one -- yep, I finally started one.  Gotta have it finished in five weeks.  LOL 

• diabolicdame said on Apr 20, 2008....

  Ooh it looks nice. You should be protective of it! :-D

• silverwhisper said on Apr 21, 2008....

  so have you begun a new project then, mimi?

• MissMimi said on Apr 21, 2008....

  I can officially say yes to that.  With only a few minor bad words, I made some good progress yesterday.

  DD -- It is nice.  It gets the morning sun and it's kinda purple.  Thanks. :)

  You know what, MissM? Though I don't sew I knew exactly how you feel. What could be better than being perfectly set up like that?
