My sewing room used to be located in a closet. It was a big closet....but a small sewing room. I didn't sew as much back then, but it was still quite a production to get things set up and put away. But the family dynamics have changed with son #3 moving away to college and then grad school and coming home less and less. So I slowly took over his room. It's a large room over the garage. It still houses a large bed so a good portion of the floor space is occupied. But, I'm not complaining! I have my desk, computer, file, sewing machine, cutting table and even a small TV and chair all in here. There is a window at each end of the room. Early on I decided to try to attract birds to the front window and was pretty successful. Here's my latest set up (without birds since they're a bit camera shy):
(Please ignore the dirty windows!) My usual customers are
finches,
blue jays and
cardinals with an occasional
dove. But lately I've had quite an assortment of different birds!
Black capped chickadees,
tufted titmouse,
mockingbirds, all kinds of
sparrows and even a
woodpecker have visited! I'm enjoying the assortment of birds (there are links to pictures of each one above) and would love for it to continue although I think many of them are passing through en route to warmer climates.
What a good idea to have a feeder there. My sewing room is on the ground floor and looks out on to the garden, but our feeders are all on another side of the house, so I don't see many of them. Perhaps I ought to put up another feeder near my window.
