Where do you do your crafting?

Do you have a room, a corner or just a table or do you have to put your projects away everytime you stop?

I thought it would be interesting to know where everyone does their crafting.

I love my husband.... when I suggested we convert the garage into my craft room he thought about it for an afternoon, then said yes!!!!
I think he liked the idea of me locking all the mess away I love my craft room, I use it everyday, and I have a table big enough now for friends to do crafting too....
I love crafting!!! .......by the way we park on the drive now....

Hi I craft in our spare room, on my camping table and it is full of lovely crafty stash in the chests of drawers, bookshelf etc... yes my husband said I could use this room and I share it with a wardrobe, several suitcases and a built in cupboard full of books....(mmmm may need to "acquire" this at some point), yes I am very lucky to have a crafty space

I use the spare bedroom, only there isn't a bed in it any more just the computer and my craft table. My table is huge, it is a table top bought from IKEA with a frosted glass panel in it so that I can put a light underneath and emboss.

It started off as a very tidy place but we all know that doesn't last don't we

we turned out 3rd bedroom into an office when O/H was working from home. He doesn't any more so it's become the computer/craft room. I have a large old fashioned desk and a couple of shelves.

It's great - I can really spread out

I craft on a tray on my lap. i have a great unit right beside me at the sofa but no desk so a tray it is. It make me stay tidy. It also means I get to buy lots of great storage jars etc to ensure my craft area looks beautiful. It has its plus side.

we striped out the bathroom as no one used it that was for an office as i worked from home and hubby needed an office too, my crafting then took over but when my son moved out just over a month ago ive gone into his room which i love as it has a big window and watch the birds.

I had to take over a corner of the bedroom, my hubby was complaining about glitter in the kitchen I thought he was just being picky untill I made my sons sandwiches for school and there was red glitter on them. I moved straight away

lol Ang.

I started with the dining room table. However, I am slowly spreading across the whole living room. Hubby has suggested I use the spare room. Which will be great but......will it be big enough!!!

I don't have a craft table so use my ironing board as I can adjust it to the right height for watching tv whilst I craft.

Hey it also delays me having to do the ironing - like I need an excuse.

So I take it you have more than one bathroom as this seems a little strange. Either that or personal hygine is a bit slack in your place

I am really lucky, last summer my husband and I gutted my huge shed (used years ago for breeding guinea
pigs and rabbits). We boarded it out, laid carpet, installed electrics, double glazed it and gave it the full
works. It is my workroom, houses all my 12 years collection of crafty bits, and I am now able to teach at
home cardmaking and scrapbooking. Its really good having a huge table which doesn't have to be cleared
every night and have everything to hand. I'd probably be lying if I said that all my crafty bits were out of
the house. There's always a little space on the dining room table...........

no one used the bath ever, we have a showeroom that also has toilet and basin in thats upstairs and a cloakroom toilet basin downstairs. there was an extension added for a granny flat way before we moved in and they had put in a bathroom toilet and basin in for her. although with my old bones i feel i could do with a bath back now

I have a corner of our lounge, it started as a small table, then an extra cupboard now I have one desk, 3 filing cabinets, one large cupboard and a large sideboard. I just need my daughter to move out then I could have her bedroom! love her really!

I'm really lucky when we moved house my husband converted a spare bedroom into a craft room with shelves and built in desktop etc. I spend loads of time in there, my husband thinks he's only married part time now.
Now I can't remember how I managed before. I've also discovered I have far more stash than I thought, now its all to hand and I can see it, I have stuff I'd forgotton I'd bought
