Working on my craft space

Hi Elic. You sure have been busy lately! My son did that same thing with two chest of drawers he had, both kinda short. He put one on top of the other; same storage space but half the floor space. Awesome idea! I haven't been doing much of anything this past week. Still mending, although I feel up to everything I've always done. I went out to pick up a new hard drive with my husband on Friday. His computer eats them (this is his 4th hard drive on a 3-year-old laptop) and I think he's afraid to go anywhere alone these days. He was just told he needs surgery on his lumbar spine which will take place in December. He has the same problem I just got rid of and I think he's secretely afraid he might become paralyzed before he has the surgery so he always wants me to go everywhere with him. Anyway, while we were out, I mentioned that I never did get my anniversary dinner that he had promised me, so we tried a new restaurant, Texas Steakhouse. (Our anniversary was August 8th... that's how bad he is at things like this.) The restaurant turned out to be awesome! A bit pricey but the food and service were great. Then, yesterday, my son called to ask if he could come over to visit. This kid never calls! I asked him what was up and, after some prodding, I managed to get him to tell me that he was a bit fried from his new job, issues with his car and his girlfriend. So, he and I went out to dinner yesterday (my treat). It was absolutely awesome going out two nights in a row! But, around here? Not much. I've been working on some Christmas presents and have just (today) started gearing up to get my new business going while doing only the absolute essential things around here like washing dishes, feeding animals, stuff like that. Hopefully, once I see the surgeon this week, he'll give me the okay to do whatever I did before the surgery. I can't wait for that!!!

Didn't do anything creative around the house over the weekend. Working on a firetruck bank which is not nearly complete. Will be cute when I am done. It has a little pocket in the window so a picture can be inserted. I took plastic stack up containers and filled them with yarn. I can see from the front what's in there since it's open in places. Works extremely well since I had yarn all over the house looking sloppy prior to moving things around. The 6 I keep in the extra bedroom hold tons of yarn and have been beyond handy.

Cleaned up CHeys closet and took up into the attic what she isnt playing with right now that was a heck of a job now to start on desk in front room she has all kinds a paper in it that need throwing away

Not a darn thing other than laundry. But I had plenty of other things to keep me busy!

i BELIEVE U HAVE HAD A SMART SPELL THIS WEEK. I do all my work at home but it takeas me about all week to do it. I do a little then rest alot,lol. Of course i have got to mylot every day to.

around here we try to keep it clean as possible in case of unexpected guest.

I haven't really been keeping up on my house chores since I lost my job. It's funny, I have plenty of time now, but I don't have the drive to do them. I used to do Flylady routines and I still plan to do them, but I just haven't felt like it.

I really didn't get anything done around the house this weekend. I guess it will have to wait until next weekend. I need to put together my new cubby hole shelf that will organize ( I hope) the rest of my crafting items so that I will have all my craft projects neatly tucked away in my bedroom which will be really nice and allow me to start decluttering my bedroom. I just haven't had time to put it together since I purchased it. I am hoping to get that off my list next weekend.

Got ready for my craft sale that was last weekend.....and now I can concentrate on getting ready for the next one.....and finishing an order for cards..besides that I haven't had time to do anything!

Mostly cooking, bringing plants in, and a little cleaning. Got to get back into that cleaning. Thanks and take care.

I tried to spade up the garden plot on Friday but wasn't able to finish it. I did slightly over half and had to quit. I was completely exhausted. I came inside, took a bath and went to bed. I felt a little better by evening, but the next day, I was so sore that I could hardly move. I hurt all over. The muscles in my legs still are sore, but I feel that I could finish the job if it had not rained Friday afternoon, Saturday and today. That's all that I've done in or around the house.

Your craft space sounds really good...This weekend I have not done anything different around the house except the usual chores but I plan on cleaning out two wardrobes tomorrow. One is my daughter’s, she has so many clothes cramped in there and a lot of them no longer fit her I’m sure! The other on is the spare room wardrobe which is in a mess because being a spare one everything gets thrown in there. They are both due for a good clean out and tomorrow is the day to do it...I hope...By the way good idea to stop when the pain sets in...

Goodness gracious..you have been busy! I wish I had a little of whatever has got into you!

I have been starting to get ready for the cold weather covering the A/C, cleaning the furnace filter etc., and for Christmas. I know it is early, but my friend that comes and helps me won't be able to come for long and I want to get as much done as I can. Besides that I will be having surgery in November and I don't know how I will feel after that. I haven't started decorating or anything, but I did have her move the decorations from the garage to the cellar.

We had a tag sale and got rid of a lot of junk. What was leftover we donated to the local Goodwill store. It is nice to have more space to work with. Now to find the motivation to get it all together. We are still unpacking and rearranging the new place. Seems we will never get it all done.

Let's see. My sister sent a recliner over that is nearly new, hardly used. Squeezed it in. Got rid of old glider rocker chair, rearranged, got rid of old recliner cats have ruined. Covered new recliner with towels etc. Covered futon with a sheet to keep Tiger from drooling and dribbling it too badly. Pushed furniture around until I am happy with it. Took a box or two to donation. Not much else, really.

painting mainly.and replacing things like crown moulding my dad never got around to putting back up.the fun part is going to be cleaning 40+years of grease off the kitchen ceiling before i can paint it...yuck..

Wow, did you do good! And so much extra space now, good for you. You'd better relax a bit though or you'll be too sore to do any crafts. I'm curious on what kind of crafts you do..are you getting ready to sell for Christmas? I cleaned my craft room just a couple of days ago but now it's a mess again, haha. I have a million idea's on what I want to do and I really need to get started pretty soon. I have some cards to make and paper pierce, and a bunch of tiny miniatures I want to get started on, some for Halloween and some for Christmas. Well, you take care now and take it easy for a while.

My craft room is also the computer room. I have a long table and a closet where I store my things. My husband doe not bother my things at all. My problem is the cats. They love to get into the paint (especially my gray/black/ white tabby). I like doing my crafts in here because it is quite in here and I can always turn on CHristmas music without hearing my husband complain. I am getting the house clean little by little. This weekend I will be getting my yard done as well as cleaning the bathrooms and the laundry room. I will also be making my dough ornamnents tomorrow night as well as bath soaps and bath salts. I want to launch my store by the 1st of October (just in time for Christmas).

Hey! How did you manage to get a craft space? When I want some room for my projects, it gets called a junk yard and I never have peace to do any work!
