Finally my husband gave up a small outbuilding on our property that was supposed to be his potting shed. He donated it to me for my workshop. Now I can have 2-4 projects out in various stages of completion without adding any more clutter to my messy house.
This is the story of my life, slowinmi! 100% my world! I have been married 45 years - I don't know how my husband stands it but he never says a negative word. The only thing that has probably saved me is he also enjoys doing a variety of projects, not the least of which is restoring vintage cars and motorcycles, but he doesn't keep his stuff here, he keeps everything at a shop a couple of miles from our house - incidently another place I have stored junk I had big plans for that may or may not ever materialize!

I adore my husband and KNOW the man is a saint! If he did things the way I do, I don't think I could bear it!! He is organized, neat, keeps his stuff orderly - and somehow looks beyond my crazy way of doing everything.
