For many months I've felt homeless. It seemed foolish (I own a house in SJ and am living in a lovely home here in Fair Oaks), but that's how I felt. All my clothes and personal items were here in Fair Oaks. But all my "toys" (yarn, beads, craft stuff, spinning wheel, etc.) were in San Jose.
Then the day we unloaded all my toys here in Fair Oaks, everything changed. After the last box was lugged into the temporary area, all those feelings vanished. I had no idea how very important it was for me to have all my stuff here. I finally feel like I am living here in Fair Oaks, not just staying here.
Here are a few pictures of the room before the change. Notice the orange, brown and gold indoor/outdoor carpet. Could there be colors more NOT me than that!
My sewing machine.
My desk. Notice the swift and ball winder.
The printers and to the left of them David's desk.
These are pictures of my toys being organized before I moved them into My Room. I got rid of about 30% of my yarn and about 80% of my knitting books.
Now I'll show you MY Room!
This is looking from the hall into the room.
My printer and a storage unit to the right (not in the picture).
My desk from my home in San Jose. It's much nicer than the one I was using.
My work table.
My sewing machine.
The Closet
Tada!! My yarn and everything else. The books are in the book shelves in David's office.
I just love it!! This room has wonderful light and everything is organized.
I need to get some shelves, hang some pictures, and purchase a set of drawers. But even now, this room is PERFECT for me.
I really feel I'm home at last.

80% of your books? Um,...what did you do with them?
The knitting guild here had a vendor night. I sold some of my yarn and books there. The left over yarn I gave to Vivian for her mother. The left over books I'm going to give to Friends of the Library (hoping for a tax deductible receipt). So right now the books are just in boxes.
I'm glad you finally got your room, and that you feel at home!
Congratulations! How nice to finally have your craft room set up! Is there a road trip to Sac. in our future?
So nice to see you are finally at home. When we picked up the yarn my husband wondered if you gave up knitting all together! Thanks again for everything! It's going to take a few trips to truck them down to my mom's place and I know she'll love it all.
So, with all that nice space, whatcha gonna knit & sew???
