It's great to have one place for crafts, I have one too. Do you have kids, grandkids? My grandkids love my craft table and just love to make crafts.

Great craft area, sammut, what I need is more room. LOL I have an old table in the back yard with a canopy over it that I was going to use for a spray painting area, but as usual DH has more junk under the canopy. Oh well, I shouldn't complain because he is painting some wood he is using to set up my sun screening for my garden. Let's see how long it takes, he has a primer coat on it and now wants to put a brown color on it before assembling it. I would like a lighter color, we will see who wins out. :-) I'm really anxious to get it set up so I can post a picture for all to see.

Hi to all,
Pegi how was your trip .
I have set up in the garage I had a little table before always had most thing on chairs or the day bed its great having separate work areas now I can keep the studio for wood work and tools .
I know men can be so slow if its not for them - like my son I said leave the table in the carport O no he took it to the yard said be back tuesday to put it where I want it so the only way to I* could get it into the garage was tip it on the side and rolled it back up the carport then in the roller door and then stand it on the legs a job and a half I could not wait till to day had to get it fixed how I wanted it there and then.
I have a little little ones thate come to visit now they can sit and draw and paint or any thing they wont to do out of harms way .

Sammut, my trip was just fine. Couldn't have asked for nicer weather either, no winter clothes had to be worn. I got to see my nieces & nephews and their kids & grandchildren. That made for a very crowded house. I even got to a couple thrift stores & yard sales. Would have bought a lot of things, but had to think about packing them in my suitcase. I saw my friend I worked with over 50 years ago, and we had a nice lunch. Her home is all torn up do to a lot of remodeling so she is staying at her mom's. But, I was glad to get back home and tend to some of my plants. DH did water them so I really didn't have to worry. It is always nice to get away but there is no place like home. I have a friend who is going to be gone for 2 months in their 5th wheel trailer. I don't think I would like to be gone that long.
