It's been a slow painful progress it it's finally ready for me (& grand daughter) to start crafting and my very 1st quilt. My small empty room quickly filled up with storage bins and an old dresser is now full of various materials I've had stored in a large yard paper bag. I am so excited I can almost hardly wait to get started, after holiday as my son races Motocross so we'll be camping at a dirt bike track for 4 days. But that gives me time to curl up with my Kindle for a bit. Enjoy your new room!<br />Jeri Niksichnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-55773681775564582872012-11-17T20:59:48.935-05:002012-11-17T20:59:48.935-05:00What a great space for crafting!

Too much space does not equal organization, at least not in my case. I have a workshop for woodworking, painting furniture, etc., and a sewing room. I don't really do crafts. But I might, if I had a room like yours!Sandra@Beneath this Roof, Within these Wallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365574089979376005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-60406126996552306472012-11-16T10:59:26.592-05:002012-11-16T10:59:26.592-05:00Beautiful room.

So, all my stuff s organized in a huge closet upstairs, and I just take it out as necessary. I do plan on getting a sewing cabinet that fits in with the dining room, so I can hide my sewing machine in a permanent spot.

Looks amazing so far, can't wait for the built-ins. Currently making space in a large storage room below grade for my crafts. However, even though it's great to have an organized space, I like to interact with my kiddos while I "work." So I too end up at the dining room table. I consider it my daily exercise, running up and down the basement stairs for supplies!

We have heard chatter in the walls and attic above our apartment for the past two years but never had anything in the apartment until this year. We went to bed one night and right after we turned off the lights, a little brown bat came flying into the bedroom and started circling the room. I was able to get it to fly out the back door but we couldn't figure out how it got in. We decided the only way must have been our bathroom vent fan. It is really old and has large spaces. So after that we ran it 24/7 until the landlord could get someone out to check the attic. We figured it would be safe to turn off the fan for a few hours one afternoon but we were wrong. Another one or the same one got into the apartment and must have hid until it was dark and then I woke up at 5:45 am to find it flying at our bedroom windows. Totally freaked us out. Good luck getting rid of your intruders.Kala M.http://ourlifeindesign.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-34073923697921855762012-11-15T19:38:14.845-05:002012-11-15T19:38:14.845-05:00Love it!!!
