Members Sheilajeanne Posted May 30, 2022 Members Report Posted May 30, 2022 This applied to me before I had my current dedicated craft room. Now it's just the craft room and a small area in my kitchen... Quote
Members Dwight Posted May 30, 2022 Members Report Posted May 30, 2022 I built a 22 by 14 dedicated craft / reloading / computer / lounge / etc . . . room. My wife has never said "thank you" . . . but she was happy to see all that stuff get out of her house . . . May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com

Members johnnydb Posted May 30, 2022 Members Report Posted May 30, 2022 I too have many craft hobbies. And they have a real ability to take over the house. However, my wife has her own list of crafts and hobbies as well. And there isn't a lot of crossover except for just a tiny bit here and there. So we both had to do something...and the solution was tote boxes. We can have as many craft tote boxes as big as needed to hold our materials while we are not working with them. Otherwise they are allowed to and do take over the whole house while we are in the midst of a project. Our new counter height dining room table (which i made) is an extension of our constant crafting by both of us. Quote

Contributing Member fredk Posted May 30, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted May 30, 2022 I have to admit, that's how it is with me right now; living room, spare bedroom, spare temporary cutting table outside, kitchen table covered in things not for eating or cooking Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Our closets are not containing the totes anymore. I like leather crafting a lot...but also woodwork...and as a recovering chef I have a LOT....and I do mean a LOT of cooking utensils and gadgets and dishes. On top of this I'm trying to start a bakery coffee shop which will eventually have a coffee roaster and patisserie shop for custom chocolates. That all stemming from my annual gifts of cookies and chocolate truffles I give every year as Christmas presents. But I also enjoy charcuterie arts with sausages and kielbasa.... But I need to make bread and danish and croissants. I have five gallon buckets of flour and 22lb bags of fine chocolate filling workspace in my kitchen. And when cookie/candy season is afoot....I make over 1,000 cookies and 1500 pieces of fine chocolate truffles every year. (Whitmans ain't got nothing on me) Nevermind the gingerbread neighborhoods of houses I provide children to decorate each year. My wife does knitting and sewing and papercrafting and professional writing/editing....and helps with packaging the treats for Christmas every year. She also is a schoolteacher at heart and does child crafts with our nieces every year...from fairy necklaces to I'm not exactly sure. She is about to start with stained glass windows....I guess I'll need to make some fine frames for each one. Quote
