Oh, once I get past the initial blues...I'm moving all my sewing stuff into it so I will have a quilting room this summer. I can't wait! I won't have to pack everything up every evening and put it all away so we can eat dinner.
Imagine trying to work in a garage that you had to park another car in every night. Before you can begin work you have to unpack all your tools, move your car in, work for a while and then move everything back out so the garage could be used for its "real" purpose every evening.
This is how I have been quilting for years in my dining room....maybe if I don't have to spend and hour preparing and another picking up every evening I'll actually work on it more often!!

Just as an "aside": We have a 14 year-old, and a 9-month-old... Both girls. I'm gonna be teary eyed when either of them move out too. I do understand.

Isn't it funny how we work so hard for this day?
We have been covered up with furniture that I have refused to get rid of because I was saving for this day. A couch, chairs, tables, lamps, dishes.....you name it I have kept it for the past six or seven years because I knew this day would come. I have cursed how our home looks like its waiting for a garage sale.
Today when we got back home, our house literally echoes with its emptiness...and I don't think its just the furniture.

Hehe! Empty-nest syndrome is really tough to deal with, but time helps!! My oldest just got his discharge from the USAF, and now that my wife and I have gotten used to our empty nest, we are going to have to re-adjust (at least hopefully only for a short while!!) while he re-enters civilian life!
