I have been trying to "finish" my craft room, and I'm getting there. I finally hung up some art on the walls, and I bought some fabric to make pillows for my couch. If only I could find the time to actually MAKE the pillows.
But, here's the update so far.
My grandma was an awesome lady and she had a great sense of humor. My aunt was telling me how she was going through her stuff, and found a bag of cotton balls labeled, "Humpty Dumpty should have sat on this". I feel like that is a perfect example of her sense of humor.
She also had this weird skeleton thing hanging in her bathroom. She was amused that it was grabbing it's crotch like it was doing the pee-pee dance. When she passed away, my aunt asked if there was anything of hers I absolutely wanted. I had to have the skeleton. Every time I see it, I giggle.
I hung it up in the craft room so it looks over my shoulder when I'm sitting at the sewing machine. I still giggle every time I see it, but it also just reminds me of grandma and her awesome humor.
This is a TERRIBLE picture, but it is REALLY hard to get a good representation of the room on camera. The room is TINY (8'x9'), so no matter where you stand, you are practically right on top of whatever you are trying to capture in a picture.
However, as I mentioned before, I have a thing for cityscapes. I had a large picture of Paris hanging up in my guest room at my old apartment that is too large for the guest room at my new place (the windows make it hard to hang a large picture in the guest room). Since the craft room is an inside room, it only has one window, and more space on the walls. For now I have decided to hang it above my sewing machine, but I may switch it to the opposite wall and hang up a peg board type organizer above the sewing machine. But, that won't happen for a while, so, it's staying where it is right now.
And last but not least, one of my favorite pictures is this Pug I got for Christmas from Uncle M one year. He always gives awesome gifts (I have an entire display shelf full of gifts he has given me over the years in my guest room, but that will be an entirely different post), and this was no exception. It's basically pages of different books with the painting on top. I think it looks awesome in the craft room.
I also bought some fabric to make pillows. The orange and blue fabric will be for the guest room and the gray is going to eventually be curtains for the kitchen. But the other fabrics are for the craft room. I just need time to sit down and make them.
The room is getting there, and I think I managed to make it unique, without being ridiculous.
