What does your craft space look like?
Right now since we moved its a small space in what should of been our living room but now is our bed room since its the bigger room in the apartment and with a baby we need all the room. As soon as the bed room (living room) is unpacked that will become my craft room.
Anyways, my small space has basically everything, my two sewing machines (one thank you to cutout and keep Christmas contest). My laptop where I do surveys to make a little craft spending money. As well as my tablet where I have all my patterns. My yarn both inexpensive and other locally made like Inskein in the Membrane. My unfinished painting (have it out to remind me to finish it or at least work with it). On the counter my hubby's kitchen aid mixer, because he loves to bake even named it Betty. And some jewelry because I want to get into jewelry making .
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
Yarn, before it was just acrylic yarn but then I discovered the wonders of cotton, alpaca, mol hair, and my fav cashmere . And my favorite Brittany size 5.5mm crochet hook. Was furls hooks but I am too afraid to break it so I'll wait till I get a costume wooden on made, maybe even spoil myself with rose wood.
What do you craft along to?
Mostly movies like on Netflix or TV shows like Disney channel , ABC family or TLC...I like to say I am still a big kid when it comes to shows.

Favorite Craft
I love crochet crafts, because I find it the easiest of crafts for me to do and I can take it with me anywhere as well as hand sewing felt crafts.
I love making amigurumis and plushies but slowly venturing out into making clothing like a sweater and a cardigan .

If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
I want to learn leather work, because I believe I can make pretty sweet stuff with it especially to give as father's day gift.. Maybe a belt or a wallet.
