Operating Instructions

It's probably no great secret that many crafters engage in many crafts.  If they make one thing, they probably make others.  Knitters might crochet or quilt.  Decoupagers may create beautiful gardens.  People who sew can write thoughtful essays.

You get my point.

If one lives with a crafter, one is certainly aware of not only the time but the space that inventors require.  Lots of projects can be going on at once, each requiring its own site.  These are very much like
centers in Preschool classrooms. 

All to say, if you share an area with someone who makes, be prepared for a tour of your home that features

current projects,

attempts at artsiness,

new stuff,

perhaps plans for the future.

Don't expect any of the spots to go away until the creative spark dies in your crafter.  (Be aware, though, that the death of a spark does not mean it will not come to life again.)  What you need to keep in mind is that creators MUST create.  Appreciate what looks like a mess --- or messes --- and know there will come a day when something wondrous will magically appear.
