I have already started to start a few shrubs so that I can save a bit on landscaping when we move. In fact I need to start some more today while I'm thinking about it. I had thought that keeping them in the house was the best way to start them but I lost almost all of them before I put them outside. The ones that weren't dead have been thriving outside so I'm going to go ahead and start some more. I have a bunch that I want to get rooted.
About the craft room - I am really excited about it. I know that it won't be a massive space but since I'll be able to use the walk in attic it will help a lot on keeping the room decluttered. I have lots of boxes of stuff that I don't use often and that kind of stuff can go in the attic area. I do wish I had a closet of my own but for now a wall of shelves will do the trick :D
