Hubby if he's on a trash hunting mission. I'm the only one allowed to empty the trash can in the sewing room in case something has fallen into it. I check through it but he wouldn't before emptying. You need to stay hydrated so drink container has to have a lid with straw in it.

I have a phobia about my rotary cutter. We often have grandkids here and I know they sometimes wander into my sewing room when they go to the bathroom. Although they are old enough to understand that needles and pins can hurt I’m terrified they get hold of my cutter.

For this reason every time I use it I put it on the highest shelf in the room. Even if I’m going to be using it a number of times I will put it there when I finish that particular cut.

Hopefully by the time they’re old enough to reach it I’ll have stopped worrying about them and it!

My sewing room is in my living room. Cats are definitely allowed. The only things not allowed are drinks that might spill and food.

I have a recently acquired cat and no door on my family room where I sew. So far, she hasn't shown any interest in the pins - my children did have a cat ho liked to put pins in her mouth, so I've been watching. Maybe these long pins aren't as appealing. No one is allowed in my real sewing room - it's too messy, but anyone can visit the current one.

maybe you could do what I'm going to do: learn to sew with glue instead of pins .

I didn't think of it either as we have signs posted and all family members know that my
dh is on oxygen.
If it didn't bother him it would make me sick. I get a whiff of smoke and my head immediately
tightens up like it has bands around it!
I suppose there are other things like the quilt police that I didn't think of.
I really hope those having drinks near their machines will reconsider putting them further
away.
I thought I was being careful around our computer and got away with it for years but
eventually you will spill.
I ruined a laptop .
It's like a lot believe they will never cut themselves with a rotary cutter and then they do.
I never thought I would stick my finger in a sharp appliance like an immersion blender,
but one night at 9:30 p.m. I did and thought I had removed my finger.
I got six stitches and three months later a surgery.
Never say never.

it's great to hear someone else say they have to get away from the news and blather!!!
My dh is one of those that watches it ad nauseum and our house is so small I insisted we
insulate our computer room better (it seriously needed it), and now I can shut the door.

Anyone looking for a pair of scissors is not allowed in my sewing room!
