I would have never believed how hard it might be to spend time crafting while moving into a new home.  So many details require attention that it is mind-boggling.  The house has 8 rooms plus 2 areas for storage and multi-purposes.  The main living areas where we and our family are spending most of the time were the most important, of course.  Certain "decorative amenities" would have to wait, but those are now being wrapped up.

Having a space to be myself in is important: sleeping, dressing, attending to the activities of daily living and being able to relax, regroup and prepare for the coming day was of primary importance and in my humble oppinion, now complete.  At the end of July, we moved the contents of the last storage building - a 20' x 10' space - into our basement.  Much of the contents were my craft supplies: papers, paints, tatting threads, beads, findings and more were among the contents of that holding.  Also among the contents of the unit were all the networking components which would make the de facto access to the internet, digital storage and files we have accumulated over the years possible.  

So here we are, 5 weeks later and I am still not able to have access to my crafting.  Granted, I COULD set aside all the amenities that make our home liveable and comfortable for friends and family and simply attend to my craft space.  But that would not be condusive to a smooth flow of life in our home.  We had more than 30 years in our previous living space to compartementalize work, family life, recreation and crafting life and so far I have only had about 5 months to accomplish the same things.

Meanwhile, Tat Days is approaching in about 3 weeks and other crafting urges are tugging at my sleeves.  Not to mention the seasonal fruits and vegetables that are ripening and ready for harvest. 

Maybe in another month. . .
