I’ve been working on my craft room forever. Well, for many months. It finally got painted last month, which I have not totally displayed on this blog yet because the room stays too messy for photos. And well, it just isn’t done. BUT, Scott did help me get a word display hung and I really like it and it is the beginnings of a wall, so I thought I would share.

I plan to add a cushion to the chair, although I’m certain it will just be place for the cats to sleep so it might turn out to be a simple slipcover instead. I also have some other art to put on the wall, I just have to figure out what I really want to put in the space.

Do you have a room in your house that is YOUR space? Whether you craft or read or whatever, somewhere you can go to do whatever you want, in relative peace? I think everyone should have a space, even if its not an entire room. A comfy chair in the corner of your bedroom, an adirondack chair on your back porch. Somewhere to chill out. Go find it and make it your own.

This weekend was full of chores, most of which got done. Scott trimmed a bunch of the shrubs in our front yard. I bagged up 10 bags of donations for the school district clothing drive AND another charity that is picking up next week. He even let me clean out his sock drawer (throwaways, not donations, yuck). We put Isabella’s bunkbeds back on top of each other, her room looks so great, in a nine-yr old kind of way. Here, look.

The beds were split with one on each wall and it was really crowded. We let her try it but we’re glad she decided to go back to the bunks. Now she has room to play with friends and according to her, the ability to make forts! Which, honestly, is fine with me because it means less of me saying NO to forts in the living room. Anything that gets me out of being the bad guy all the time is fine by me.

All in all, a productive weekend. Now its Yom Kippur and we’re fasting until dinner. We will spend the evening with friends (Hi Claire!) eating bagels, lox and whatever other yummy goodies Claire prepares. Have a nice day everyone!
