Overwhelmed by the craftiness.....

As I have mentioned before, I like to do crafts. I'm happiest when I have a big project to work on. Right now I am making a cross-stitch Christmas light sampler ( I love samplers best of all).

I also have a baby afghan I am crocheting, I bought fabric to make our family matching pajama pants, and I just went to a huge scrapbook sale and bought a bunch of supplies to do scrap booking.

I love all these things, and I really want to get back into scrap booking. The only thing I don't like about it is not having room to spread out and really get it done. It seems like once I get all the paper, cutters, embellishments, pictures etc. out, it's time to put it all away! I would love to have a craft room where I can have huge tables and organized paper stackers and all the fun things for scrap booking on one side of the room and then another side for sewing. If everything was already ready for me then I think it would be easier to get things started and finished. It seems like it's harder getting things ready so it's just easier to put it off and not do it at all.

I talked to Chris about it and asked if we could set up a place for me in the basement. We are thinking over our options and wondering if I can handle extra mess in the bedroom. It's really the only option. I'm sure I can keep things neat, especially if I don't have to put everything away, just tidy. who knows?

Someday, when we have our own house, I will make a spot just for me. Until then I will have to make due, even if it means carrying everything up to the kitchen table.
