there is an easy solution, you just say; "I need to put this here TEMPORARILY" but then the amount of time it needs to temporarily be there seems to magically get longer and longer while the footprint gets bigger and bigger.. .. I am lucky to have the wife I do ..(:

I did that... sorta

Started in a 3x3... I only need this corner. Then moved to a 6x3... I only need this side of the room. Now it's a 5x5 and a 3x3 I only need the entire room.

so we're basically on the same trajectory.. I started with a 2.3x2.3, then 4x4, then 2x4, I already have the entire spare room besides the closet we use for xmas storage.. I have since encroached on the dining room and living room.. I told her we should just move into the spare room and let me grow in the master, that way I would even have a bathroom for water so I could move everything from the rest of the house in there..

needless to say she didn't agree {:{D

That's a win / win in my books.

Mrs. S has her "sewing room" in the basement - a 10' x 12' that was supposed to be where she did all her sewing. But since we settled here in 2013, all sewing has been done in the main floor dining room. The materials are brought to the main floor dining room from the basement sewing room then back again when she is done. The sewing room has become the sloppy storage locker.

It needs to be my main growing area. So - how do we convince our partners to get a fucking grip?

You must create an irresistible sewing caddy and storage locker close at hand to her work space, equal or greater than what she has now.

They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care;

⁠They pursued it with forks and hope;

They threatened its life with a railway-share;

⁠They charmed it with smiles and soap.


They shuddered to think that the chase might fail,

⁠And the Beaver, excited at last,

Went bounding along on the tip of its tail,

⁠For the daylight was nearly past.

"There is Thingumbob shouting!" the Bellman said,

⁠"He is shouting like mad, only hark!

He is waving his hands, he is wagging his head,

⁠He has certainly found a Snark!"

If only I could. That 10' x 12' x 9' room has little room left for anything. We literally need another basement without the service area.

You know, I am really starting to embrace the idea of buried rail cars.

I believe that was how she quietly bogarted that sewing room in the basement back in 2013.

Does this sound familiar?

Monday - "I'll just put that little box down here"
Tuesday - "And now this box can go down there too"
Wednesday - "Oh and here's another couple that can go."
Sunday - "It turns out I needed a third shelving unit in there. Here, please assemble this one as well."

What can I say, I'm fond of decorating. Here I sit, instead of in front of that machine, right?? Why shouldn't I share my happiness with decorating. I mean quilting/sewing. Well actually I get equal pleasure out of both. My textile studio is kind of large......... sigh...... but my homemade cube is where you'll usually find me

I think I heard her gasp with glee the second I received that post. A couple of years ago, she bought a little black Featherweight machine. She loves the fact that it's portable.

Yes - I can hear the rumble of the bobbin right now. She is a member of two local Quilting guilds.

My back up quilting machine is a Bernina 1130 and bullet proof ROFLMAO and the straight stitch is out of this world accurate.

However this is the one I got last week:

Brother Luminaire 3 Innov-ís XP3 Sewing Quilting and Embroidery Machine

This new Brother sewing machine has the power to quilt and embroider, and comes with Wi-Fi capabilities, built-in designs and stitch functions, and more.
