What does your craft space look like?

My craftspace looks sort of like my entire apartment. Perhaps some places outside of it as well. I'm a very cluttered person, and I start a craft and then get inspiration and start a new one to come back to the other one later, so I go from the den (where I'm SUPPOSED to craft) to the dining room table, to the coffee table, to my bedroom floor, to the balcony, back to the den. We just moved into our new apartment so I've only started gathering some furniture for all my boxes and boxes of craft stuff. Also, in my den area we've got two bookshelves to get rid of my BOXES UPON BOXES of books so the closet could be used for my larger craft supplies. One of the bookshelves was missing a piece that is currently being delivered, so that's a mess. Needless to say, I've got my craft supplies sprinkled around anywhere the boxes will fit to get out of the way. (I included a picture of my old craft table that I had when I lived at home. Sadly it doesn't fit in my new apartment, but I really loved it!)

Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?

I almost always use my ruler! Whether I'm making myself a dress, making some frames, crocheting a throw pillow, or reupholstering my reading chair. I was always taught "measure twice, cut once" so for every cut I make, I've used my ruler at least twice as much.

What do you craft along to?

I love having the TV on in the background, and I used to craft to shows like Family Guy, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Futurama. Now, however, that I have my very own apartment that is like a blank canvas at the moment, I almost always craft with HGTV on in the background. Either that, or any music that I like. I'm very eclectic from my crafting to my music taste, so I can go from Led Zeppelin to Jose James to Tchaikovsky to Florence and the Machine. I feel like that really rounds me out, and rounds out my crafts as well. I get inspiration from so many sources and that really helps to invigorate me and my crafts.
