I never thought I would be this excited to get a gift that goes in a space I can call my own. A space in the corner of the laundry room, next to a water heater and furnace. I am SO EXCITED!!! - and I am not being sarcastic, I really am!
For Christmas Mike got me a craft table. I was working on a padded card table for the last several months. I put in the only corner of the house I could find for me and just me. It was placed between the furnace and water heater (at least it is warm). I have grown to love my space as it has a door I can shut, a sink, floors I don't' have to worry about, and because no one is ever in there I can leave a project out and messy as long as I want. I just shut the door without cleaning up or making it baby/child/dog proof!
My new desk/chair are only the start... I can't wait to get a few more things this week to make it my own warm little crafting paradise!
I also got this lovely organizer from my in-laws that my wonderful father in law will be hanging for me soon (as I have no idea how put this up on cinder block!) Yes, my workspace also is surrounded by cinder block. Did I mention my husband has a mancave - 700 squarefeet of finished space above the garrage with no major appliances... just finished walls, pool table, 52 inch TV, comforable furniture, table and chairs, need I go on.
However in it's own odd way, this desk, organizer, and little corner have made me forget about his man cave, just let mommy lock herself in the laundry room and crochet away!
