It makes me happy just to go in the room. Sometimes when I don't feel well physically or mentally I just go in there and sit for a few minutes and look around :)

I just want to cozy up in that room and never come out!! So many nooks and crannies of amazingness!! Thank you for sharing!! Very inspiring!!

Thank You Jen! I do tend to go in there for something and just linger for a while. It is my happy space :)

Thanks for keeping it real! I think we look at the 'staged' craft rooms on Printrest and despair that our space does not look like that. I'd rather come visit a place like yours with lovely antiques and one is clearly a working space, not a white, sterile, color blocked stage set. BTW, my "Au Fil des Nichoirs" came Saturday, so I'm ready for the October start!

Love seeing how everyone else stores all of their craftiness. I think it’s been my life lately trying to make sense of all the things in my tiny room also. Being a flosstuber has definitely helped me keep tabs on it all.

Thanks for sharing your space with us, Brenda. I loved the tour. You have encouraged me to continue making my craft room (I converted my loft to a craft room) into the sanctuary I always wanted to have to showcase my art. A couple of members of my family shake their heads and say that I should have made it into another master bedroom, but they just do not understand my passion for needlework, diamond painting, puzzle making and - just plain reading mystery books to my hearts content. Have a great Fall season.

Love how you have your room organized! It is so fun to see how others work their storage and organizing especially since the majority of us stitchers accumulate a lot of things between fabrics, patterns, kits, floss, tools, etc. My craft room is a complete disaster at the moment and I am working to try and organize and figure out where to put everything - LOL! One day I will be able to see my floor and the top of my desk won't have piles! LOL!! - Laura

Your room is fantastic! As I watched, I am reorganizing my DMC! It is all over the place, Some on bobbins, others on floss drops, in grocery store bags, kitted or in WIP’s in project bags, and some brand new! I have too much to know what I have so now I’ll re-catalog and am putting them in floss bags! Tired of buying more floss and then finding I have the color! Your space is very organized and looks so cozy!
