As some of you may know I live in a small home, about 1356 square feet to be exact. We built this home 10 years ago, in our 20's, and before we had kids. We have 3 bedrooms (two rather small). 10 years ago we actually had an official office and guest room. 7 1/2 years ago Stella came, then we had a combination guest room/office left. Then, 2 1/2 years ago Dane came. We then created a small nook in our master closet that we lovingly call our "cloffice" which is an office in our closet :-). This area then not only housed our clothes and shoes, but our desk and computer. For a few years I have wanted to have a craft area and I got my wish a couple months ago, well sorta. Since we went to laptops we got rid of our desktop and I talked the hubby into letting me have the cloffice desk, well mostly. The bottom drawer still holds all the neccessary files and boring paperwork a home must have, and there are some places for bills, modem, etc. on top but for the most part it houses my craft supplies and gives me a small space to create in. One of these days I will have the studio of my dreams, but for now I am quite content in my little "craficet" - combination closet, craft area, and closet. Tonight after work my plans are to organize the craficet, or Girlythings73 world headquarters. After a weekend of thrifting, some crafting, and a jewelry show it is looking quite scary.
