The Cave

As we have more children, and therefore less room, my crafting space has been shuffled around the house - before having O, I had an entire bedroom for my crafts, space to spread out the scrapbooking supplies (and leave them!), space to leave out my sewing machine, no need to worry if everything was put away ... it was wonderful. And did I appreciate all that crafting freedom? NO! My older, wiser self now drools over memories of that time. Now I head downstairs to my nook to try and get something done in the tiny bit of time I can call my own each day. Up until a week ago, I had half of the exercise room, with a storage closet for all my stuff. Apparently, we need that space to exercise. So now my crafting supplies and I share space with all our other storage in the tiny room under the stairs. The bonus? It does have a baby gate. The downside? No flooring, poor lighting and not much space. But it is mine! So far, I've got a large kitchen table, storage cubes on said table, a dresser and a small rolling cart to work with.

The other day I went to the fabric store and met my downfall, the remnant bin. I L-O-V-E remnants. To top it off, they had some nice prints and textures. And I got it all for $12.00! Now, I want to head downstairs and create something for O and A's room. But can I? No. Because after shoving all my crafting stuff into it's new home (which will henceforth be known as "The Cave", since it has no windows and poor light) I did not bother to put anything away, I just crammed and left. So, no new crafting for me tonight! Instead, I'll be organizing, but at least then I'll be able to find my crafting space again!
