Well Rene, my craft room looks like a paper/ribbon/button/fabric explosion. I'm VERY BUSY making Christmas tags and Christmas cards right now. I will be selling my crafts at Christmas Bazaars and I have to PLAN what I will work on on my days off from my caregiver job. I spent several days making jewelry, several days sewing aprons and now am making cards.
AFTER the Christmas Bazaars, which will be about mid-December then I will be sewing aprons for family members and a customer, making MORE jewelry and wrapping the gifts that are on the floor under the papercraft supply table in my room. My hubby came in the "room" yesterday and I said, "I know this place is wreck, but I AM working!!"  I keep my supplies out until I'm finished working on that project . . . that's why I have a "room" to do it in!!
So, this elf is BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!!!!
Someday, closer to Christmas I might just get some baking in . . . maybe.
'TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY!!!

So this is what I am working on for the SIL's for Christmas. I haven't done any baking as everybody is not into having baked goods around but I like to give a jar or frozen bag of something from the garden from that year. I think it will be Tomatoes Potatoes and Carrots and Onions for a nice start to soup or stew.
And some sour dough start.
I also have the fabric for the grand girls jammies and am doing a quilt for a good friend too.

You are all so brilliantly talented !!! I'm going to finish hand sewing an apron and make a bunch of felt and county plaid ornaments and a new set of slippers for by sweetie pie...I have an empire-waist dress pattern that I'm eager to make and wear, but the right fabric hasn't grabbed me yet  ...my work area looks like a bunch of of pre-schoolers had their way with it and it's a total mess LOL! but I'm in the creative process and that is what matters!
Grace dear, please pass the box of Calgon! heehee!

Oh you girls make me glad I'm not the only one with a messy crafting and sewing room. Ooops sorry, I didn't mean to imply that anyone's was messy except for mine, lol!! And, I wouldn't really call it messy, more along the lines of how CJ describes hers!!!
I love all the projects I see here, I love your pillow talk pillows Rene! And Diana is that your project using the squares from our Christmas charm swap?!!! Beautiful! Be sure to post on the charm swap forum so we all can see!
And as if I don't have enough to keep me busy between now and Christmasa, I noticed while at my daughter's yesterday for Thanksgiving, that she doesn't have hardly any dish cloths, dish towels and pot holders!!! So, guess what she's getting for Christmas!? And, of course I won't be happy unless I make them myself and all coordinating, lol! Well at least they're easy to make!
Honestly though, I thrive in my craft room just the way it is! Somehow I feel stifled when it's too neat! :)

Yup, Rene . . . Christmas will be past and then we can clean our rooms.
I do a LOT of Christmas papercraft projects and have to set up another table just to have my supplies at hand. That won't be there forever, otherwise I'll never get on to the after-Christmas projects.
I kinda take January off . . . then spend February through May getting things ready to sell at Farmers Market when the season starts the first Saturday in June. Then for the four months of season I am BUSY, BUSY with keeping up with sales.
But, so far it's SO-O-O-O much fun!!!
So . . . it'll wait until after Christmas!

Messy craft room??? My whole house looks like Santa's Workshop exploded!!!
Works in progress in the sewing room, wreaths in progress on the dining room table and knitting stuff everywhere. What a blast!! There is always something to work on. And since my sister lives with me and she has as many projects going as I do OY...
Needless to say, we live in fear that someone, like a mom or mom in law, might drop in unexpectedly.
And then there are the orders for our etsy store
So, of cours, I just had to put everything else aside because my sweet granddaughter wants a Mrs. Claus doll and I am determined to have it finished by Tuesday, when I see her .
Yep, it's crazy but toooooo much fun
