My Craft Corner has evolved somewhat, it's got more personality and inspiration. It hasn't looked this neat and tidy for many, many weeks, unfortunately. Craft Room in it's early years, really this was it and a closet full of stuff, crammed into plastic containers. Original Sears Kenmore Sewing machine inside the cabinet  (does more than 45 years make it vintage?) They don't make them like that anymore! Yes, it still works, my mom got it when she came from Cuba to make us clothes. It was handed down to me practically brand new, almost 25 years ago! New Craft room set up, early stages.    To the left of the book area is a ribbon cabinet I designed with 8 bars for small ribbon and one for large spools.      This is the center work area. It's filled with photos, quotes and insprational words. On the left side (see below) there is a ribbon board I made for pictures and other inspirations...

 My Craft Corner, it has more personality now and much more stuff too!   left & right sides have fabric, the middle & drawers, everything else!     Who doesn’t want their own space to create? Ok, maybe only us artsy and crafty people. I remember decades ago when I had all the time in the world and no money for crafts. Then I started working and looking for a husband (LOL) and had no time.   Finally, as life began unfolding, I took advantage of the pregnancies as an excuse to make baby comforters and crib items; but, once the kids came,   you know how that went. It took 3 years to make the cross-stitch for the first baby, 6 years to finish the one for the other baby. It's no wonder since Cross-stitching was my “airplane” craft.     Out of desperation and craft anxiety, I started a “hope” closet of craft supplies in case there was a fleeting chance that, one day, I could perhaps be creative again. ...
