A Crafter's Guide to the Laws of Physics

I am fortunate to have an entire room to use in my creative pursuits, and one that is a fairly decent size. It is roughly 11 feet by 12 feet. I am also fortunate to have enough stuff to fill it. I have scrapbooking stuff. Paper, scissors, paper punches, paper, stamps, paper, stickers, paper, did I mention I have paper? I also have yarn, fuzzy yarn, soft yarn, wool yarn, nylon and acrylic yarn, fancy and utilitarian yarn. I love to crochet and knit, although at present my hands are not allowing me to pursue those hobbies, I still have the stuff, you know, the hooks, needles, yarn, and of course, more yarn. I have a dresser full of yarn. And then there is the sewing. The sewing machines, yes, I said machines with an S. I inherited a fancy schmancy embroidery machine and a serger to keep my little ol' Pfaff company. I am very grateful for those machines, but boy do they need space of their own. See, they don't play well together when they don't get their own space. Each machine wants it's own little piece of table top to call it's own. Quite understandable, as I sure wouldn't want to share my personal space with another person 24 hours a day. Since I have such a fine assortment of sewing machines, I have to have fabric to use in them. Mmmm fabric....nothing beats a great sale on fabric! Fabric Depot has all their fabric 40% off today and tomorrow and I had a good time there! I think my craft room has reached a critical point at which I need to reorganize to accomodate the fabric...two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time! Container Store here I come! :}
