craft table challenge

i was called by ms pea
to rise to the craft table challenge.
this was originally posed by jay...

my partner, grub, is an architect...
so i dream of my beautiful studio space
in the modern minimalist home that grub will design.
i will have a studio on the top floor with sky lights
and long lab-bench-type tables
so i can have several projects laid out...
it will have a great sound system
so i can blare the music
and work for hours.
heh...
we shall see.

for now my craft table consists of a desk and
a chair that i appropriated from the dining room table.
it is located on one side of the bedroom.
i have also eeked out a little space in the corner of my lab
for craft breaks from studying.

here is my craft table at home:

on the chair to the left of my desk
i have my sewing items
that have not been put away.
i just carry them over to the comfy chair
(where i do all the hand sewing)
in the living room
on that huge white bauhaus art book
that i bought at value village.
i am in the market for a nice vintage tray
to take it's place.

my craft table contains (from left to right):
1. bowl of buttons on stack of acid-free construction paper

here is my little corner in my lab
where i usually do all cutting and
machine sewing of book covers, aprons
