I just love that I have a space to call my own! It's large enough for all my machines, books\patterns\magazines, as well as a cutting table, and a place for my kids to sit and visit while I work. Plus, I have a great closet that I can hide my fabric stash and craft supplies.

What projects are you currently working on?
I have a few crochet projects on the go at the moment - scarves and gloves as it is freezing here!
