Home Sweet Home

 It only lasted two years. Sigh.

Claire and Camille for a brief time shared a bedroom, but that time is over. After Audra moved downstairs, Claire and Camille joined together and I got a sewing/craft room! It was wonderful.

But, for the past year Camille has begged to have her own room back. She wrote me letters and made lists about how we could move things around to make it work.

The situation isn't perfect. Camille basically doesn't have a closet because we have to store all of our fabric and sewing supplies, the vacuum, and ironing board in her closet. It isn't great- but she doesn't care. She just wants her own room.

I spent the first two weeks of June getting the sewing machine and as much as I could out of the room. I bought a sewing cabinet that we put up on the landing. It won't be nearly as easy/convenient to sew, but we can make it work. Since Audra is going to college in four years, we only need to do this set up until then.

We are now utilizing every square inch of our house. We can't make another room. In the past year, we have gotten Ben's office totally situated which meant moving all of the gaming consoles into the playroom, and now we have moved the sewing room into the landing. We have nowhere else to grow, which isn't bad but it's pretty crazy to know we have utilized everything.

Anyway, tonight is Camille's first night in her back to new room, and she is pretty excited.
