Welcome To Craft Hell! {My Week Before A Craft Show Home Tour}
Do you wonder what my home looks like? I have been meaning to photograph a “home tour” for a few weeks but I can never manage to catch my house when it’s perfectly clean enough to photo. Or when it is clean my camera battery is dead. So my “Week Before A Craft Show Tour” will have to do.
Most bloggers post perfect, pristine photos of their homes. I have been guilty of it too.
But I’m keepin’ in real with a home tour the week before a craft show. This time it’s An Affair of the Heart. This is what I like to refer to as “craft hell”. It’ ain’t pretty folks.
I can’t eat off of my dining room table.
I can’t walk around my house without tripping.
Stacks of paint cans line every surface.
Oh, I can’t eat in my 2nd dining room either.
The week before a craft show my son will watch an embarrassing amount of television. I will probably eat out too much. I will most likely wake up at 5am everyday worrying that I will forget to do something and jot it down in my spiral notebook To-Do list that seems to never end.
I will live in white-trash piles of boxes and sample boards until the show is here. It’s like Martha Stewart and the Tasmanian Devil birthed a craft baby in my living room.
So the next time you see a picture perfect home tour. Think again. Professional craftin’ ain’t easy. Or pretty.
But I LOVE it.
I love when bloggers are keepin it real. This is my house, one week before Paris Flea market. Every month!
Hey, Allison! I LOVE it that you still have a Christmas phrase on your chalkboard! Makes me feel better that I still haven’t put my accessories back out since Christmas decor was put up. In fact you could probably still find pine needles if you look close enough! Oh, and that you store paint in your buffet! I LOVE IT! I hope the Affair of the Heart is a HUGE success for you!
Thanks Sonya! Ha! At least I’m not the only one!
I love that you’re “keepin’ it real”! Looking forward to AAOTH. I’ll look for you there!
