Man or Woman Cocoon?

You may remember last month when my DH set up the living room into a Man Town cocoon on a snowy Sunday afternoon. If not, let me remind you. The view from the front door:

View from the kitchen:

I mentioned yesterday I moved my sewing table downstairs so we would have plenty of space to sew and hang out. The table came down the stairs easy enough, but I can't put it away until DH comes home. So today I worked in my Woman Town. The space doesn't have anything my studio doesn't have - room for ironing board and plenty of working space. I was steps away from the basement door so I could pay attention to the laundry as I was sewing.

Here's the view from the kitchen. The room gets lots of day light. I opened up the curtains and watched the sun move across the parking lot. I spent the day working on DIL's maternity top. I'm nearly done with it. I'm stumped on gathering the sleeves to attach them. I've put it aside for tonight. I plan on taking it to work with me and get help from one of my co-workers.

After working in this room for two days I've learned a couple of things. Open space is good. Right now my sewing room has a lot of furniture and I'm feeling cramped. I'm thinking of taking out my old cutting table that is currently holding my HDTV. I don't watch the TV as much as I thought I would when I'm sewing so the TV will go into our bedroom. The table it sits on has become a catch-all rather than a table. It will probably end up in the basement for now. I have cube storage shelves I may turn on it's side. I don't know where I'm going with these changes, time will tell.

Of course, I have to wait for DH to come home this weekend before I can make any changes. Who knows what we'll end up moving?

Happy Stitching!
