Since I lost my sewing room to my darling grandson I had to move all my sewing/crafts to our partially finished basement. Boxes and boxes stored there all summer. I finally spent three days setting up shop in the laundry room thanks to a metal cabinet and storage bins from freecycle. I can't work on my penny rugs and dolls unless everything is in an organized state! My sewing machine is set up close to the monitor heater and I'm ready!! Though I substitute there are my own bills so I think my crafts may be my salvation for my $10,000 safety net. Plus, there is Christmas coming fast so I can't count on much from my part-time job. Time is still a challenging factor but I'm doing my best to spend an hour or two a day. Training my daughter to take over more and more of the baby's care!! Training my hubby to understand I need my own time,too!
