I feel the same as many do here. I miss him when he is gone but I enjoy the time alone, less picking up, cooking, laundry etc. I can get so much more done by myself, but yes it can get lonely. Yes it is hard to got through the whole building phase. I hope you are getting a very special craft room in your new home. That's my dream, a special craft room, so I don't have to pack and unpack my stuff. Or having my dining area utilized by my stuff. I have a long table and at one end is my machine and pile up my tools and supplies at days end and we eat at the other end. Can't wait to have my own room. I know I would craft more if I didn't have to dig things out of my bedroom closet.
