Because I was inspired by Soul Mama and because I'm on the verge of planning my own craft room...
A playful extract from A Room Of One's Own by Virginia Woolf.
''But, you may say, we asked you to speak about women and CRAFT - what has that got to do with a room of one's own? I will try to explain. When you asked me to speak about women and CRAFT I sat down on the banks of a river and began to wonder what the words meant. They might mean simply a few remarks about Fanny Burney (WHO KNITS); a few more about Jane Austen (EMBROIDERY); a tribute to the Brontes (CROCHET, PAINTING, SEWING) and a sketch of Haworth Parsonage under snow; some witticisms if possible about Miss Mitford (HARD CORE CROSS STITCHER); a respectful allusion to George Eliot (CALLIGRAPHY); a reference to Mrs. Gaskell (LACE MAKER) and one would have done''.

You absolutely must have your own craft room, it's a necessity, my dear.
Thats a clever post. I have a craft/sewing room I am trying to get organized...too much 'stuff'. Surprise!!...not. = )
Wonderful Woolf-play. What craft did Virginia enjoy? I reckon she was a closet macrame addict.
