Let me warn you that the images contained in this post might shock you. I’ve been there and seen it with my own eyes, I’ve stood in the dark shadow of the craft stash and felt it’s powerful beckoning first hand.

Let’s start with what can be seen from the doorway. There’s the sewing machine. Mom and I might not agree on much, but we do agree that an older machine is a precious workhorse that will never fail. Usually there’s a box of something on the chair and not much covering the surface of the sewing table, for some reason the situation was reversed this day.

Then there’s the other sewing desk. I think there’s another sewing machine in there. And usually it has a serger sitting on the top.

Oh yes. There’s the serger. It’s like Where’s Waldo but with craft supplies. Can you see the interfacing? Spot the ribbon? Which one?

Now at this point you might wonder if Mom actually uses all her craft supplies or does she just grow the stash? In truth, she’s a pretty dedicated crafter and during the slow times in her business she busies herself whittling down the stash and creating some really delightful stuff.
