My Dream Crafting Space

Currently we are living in a teeny, tiny, shoebox sized one bedroom basement apartment.  It was only supposed to be for a few months while we found another place to live, but here we are over a year later.  We have dedicated the living room as a 2nd bedroom to give ourselves a little sanity.  So, I suppose we live in a two bedroom apartment with no living room.  Space is in very short supply around here.  I don't have an extra bedroom or a basement to convert into my dream crafting space.  Truth be told, I didn't even own one crafty thing when we moved into this apartment.  (Ok, maybe that is a little exaggerated.)  I didn't start sewing or the majority of my crafting until after we moved in here.   So it wasn't a major concern when we moved in.

Currently I sew and craft at the kitchen table.  It is annoying.  Every meal time (and with 2 small boys it's every hour on the hour) I have to pack up all of my supplies.  And after meal time I have to scrub down the kitchen because I have 2 small boys that can't seem to find their mouths when they eat.  It's a chore and sucks the fun out of sewing.

Around Christmas time I realized that once we took the tree down it would unveil an empty corner.  An empty corner right next to a window and a nearly empty closet.  The wheels began turning and I talked it over with the husband and we soon found ourselves at IKEA dreaming up plans for my very own crafting space.

Unfortunately a few weeks later and here is what the corner still looks like.

I suppose we still have a lot of work to do.


I know my little craft corner in my bedroom isn't my dream space.  And it will be small, but I hope that I can make it function.  Afterall...we may be here another year at this point.  I better make the best of what I have.  And right now, nearly anything is better than the kitchen table!

Have you been dreaming of having your own craft space?  Do you already have your dream craft space?  I'd love to know what your dream craft space would look like (or maybe you're lucky and it already exists?).  Leave a comment on the blog or FaceBook and let me know!

Also, follow me on Pinterest if you'd like to see what inspires me, makes me hungry, or things I find useful.

Happy Crafting!
