MY PLAYHOUSE

MY PLAYHOUSE

Most commonly asked question:  size?  It is 10x 12 (120 square feet).

When we finally relandscaped our back yard after more than 30 years, I got to have a shed for my hobby and my husband got his garage back. I'd been crafting in the garage, with no windows and no insulation, for ten years! 

It's been a little over a year now and the shed has gone through several name changes. The "shed" certainly wasn't going to cut it. My "studio" seemed too, too for me. I settled on my "workshop" until my grandson Adam asked one day if he could go out to my "playhouse." Playhouse? Well, gee, of course, why didn't I think of that?!

Here is my Playhouse!

And inside you will find examples of my OCD, which I prefer to think of as:

Unfortunately, this deep shallow drawer cabinet was purchased from a friend who had purchased it at a knitting store that was going out of business.  They are sometimes called "map drawers" or "architect's drawers" (for plans).  I believe new ones are very expensive, but  maybe one could be found on Craig's List or on EBay.  It's the best thing I own.  It perfectly displays hundreds of wooden stamps in those very deep drawers.

And, yes, that beautiful desk DOES get used!

I thought you might like to see a picture of me "paying my dues" crafting in the garage for ten years! I started this hobby in 2002; this was taken in 2006.

The Playhouse was finished in the fall of 2011. This picture of me in the Playhouse was taken in 2012:
