My Craft Space

Updating office

Currently, my Crafting Room is in shambles...actually, our entire main floor looks the same. We are updating! My emotions change from hour to hour: excited, impatient, overwhelmed, tired, frustrated, exuberant. WOW!! We are living in the basement. Our sweet dog, Ellie, is sticking to me like Velcro! We have no routine! I'll post a finished picture.....but it will be quite a while. I'm anxious to decorate! HGTV is costing me lots of money...LOL! My style: decorate with what I LOVE to look at and Modern Farmhouse.
