For a long time I’ve wanted a dedicated space to do, store, enjoy my many and various crafts. When our youngest left home I turned her bedroom into my craft room. It still looked and functioned, to a degree, like a craft room, but was filled with my craft things…wool, needles, material, spinning wheels, etc. and I loved it!

Unfortunately life sometimes changes without notice. One of our girls, who left home many years ago for uni, and didn’t come back, had to come back. That’s life. I could never turn any of them away. It did mean I lost my space. Lots of things were boxed up and put it the smallest, (for that read very small almost cupboard) bedroom. The big positive was that she was home…the dog loved it! My daughter, Heather, works in a pub so, as you can imagine, unsocial hours but, for him this was fabulous. Even if hubby and I were at work, often she wasn’t.

Time flies! Two years on and she’s now flying away again. I get my room back! This time it won’t resemble a bedroom as she’s taking the wardrobe and dressing table with her as well as a few other bits of furniture. This time it will truly be a craft room. I’m well aware it will take time to move everything back in and find it a home but, I’ll do it. It will probably take all summer as I can’t do much before pain hits but that’s ok. It doesn’t matter how long, what matters is the outcome.

Watch this space!
