Sharing Spaces

Over the weekend, my husband did a deep clean of our office....and a bit of rearranging to accommodate my bags, tubs and boxes of craft materials and yarn. I have a lot of yarn! I have always wanted a little corner in our house to "spread out" all of my creative ideas. We are still in the process of rearranging (and decorating!) my new space, but I will post pics soon of my new crafty "nook."

And, what does every crafty nook need?? That's right, a sewing machine.

I am starting to dapple in the art of sewing. I used to do fun projects with my mom when I was a child and really enjoyed it. However, as life got busier I got busier. And my creative projects took a backseat to "life," as I am sure many of you can relate.

So, I am dusting off my mom's mint green sewing machine. Isn't she a beaut?! She brought it out to our house several years ago for me to use, but it has been sitting in the basement...without a place to call "home." I have often thought of bringing it upstairs, but where would one put such a priceless item? In the living room? No. It would just sit there and never get used. And my tubs of yarn would fill the room, creating another messy room for me to keep tidy. On the kitchen table? No! Sticky hands are always nearby and would ruin my precious machine for sure! In a crafty nook that I can call my very own? What a splendid idea!

It is so nice of my husband to share. Bonus points to you, honey, for sharing! :)
