Taking Back My Craft Room  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. ElusiveButterfly (9602)   ranked 18 out of 985 in live my life to the fullest 4 years ago

My hubby told me that he wanted to remove the bed that is in the guest room so I could make this room into my craft room. This was something that I had wanted to do since we moved to this place. When the grandkids came along it became the guest room.

Working on my crafts has always brought me joy. Years ago I would sit for hours working on wreaths, decorative wall pieces, sewing, and other crafty things. Now I am not so active with it. I do miss doing my craft work.

Hubby is right, it is time to take back the craft room. The kids can always sleep on an air mattress. It is not like they are here every day! ~sigh~

I didn't know people actually had craft rooms! That sounds like a lot of fun, it will probably be a lot easier to keep things organized if you have a whole entire room for the purpose.

We could keep a folding bed in there in case the kids do come for a sleep over. Having a room to put all of my craft supplies in rather than scattered around the house would be good.

I am sure your grandkids will love sleeping on the floor on an air mattress, I know my grandson loves it, that or pull the bed out on the sofa. That is good that you will have a craft room and will enjoy getting back into doing something you really enjoy. Good for your husband for bringing it up.

I didn't want to do it at first. But, after thinking about it I decided it was a great idea.

There are always other places for kids to sleep. You need the space. It will give time to restore yourself when you are off work. Maybe a futon or sleeper sofa in there would work.

my boyfriend gets great joy in painting,

I get my joy in writing as you already know.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElusiveButterfly (9602)   ranked 18 out of 985 in live my life to the fullest  4 years ago

I would love to learn how to paint. Painting on slate is something that is of interest to me. I do a bit of writing, but nothing that will ever bring me pay.


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (18790)  4 years ago

you can get odds and ends writing about 30 to 50 dollars a month if you are not with a good writing company.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElusiveButterfly (9602)   ranked 18 out of 985 in live my life to the fullest  4 years ago

Wow, that isn't bad! Even with my lack of words this could be possible?


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (18790)  4 years ago

go take a look at associated content,

and also if you can do reviews, pm me with your email address and I will send you an invite.

This room would be for me. I could listen to my music while working on my creations.

You hubby is right. Your craft room is more important than guest room.
You need to take care of yourself, plus you don't have visitors everyday.

I am waiting for the day when I can have my own office/library. I want a place where I can be alone with all my books and my writing. Since I bought a lap top, the PC is shared between my two girls and me. I am tired of the mess down there and them always getting into my stuff. I want my own space. So I don't blame you want for wanting your craft room back. And since the kids aren't living at home, you should definitely have it!

Enjot your room! You are so lucky to be talented in crafting. The only thing I can does is crocheting and I really enjoy doing it in the winter when I make afghans.

Definately take back your craft room, especially if that is what makes you happy. Like you said the kids can always blow up an air mattress to sleep on. It's your home and you should enjoy it as much as you can. Good for you for taking back what you love.
