Whatever you do the most keep in baskets you can get to easily, maybe even small projects next to your 'regular' chair to rest in. So if you want to do a lot of scrapbooking keep that handy all the time and pull the sewing machine out on weekends. Keep your cutting stuff handy during the week if you have time to work on projects. If quilting is going to be your thing, keep the machine handy and put the paint and scrapbooking away until the weekend.
And hey, what guy needs a walk in closet, make you son share the closet! Good luck, and don't give up, he will get back on his feet and you will get 'your space' back.

How about the garage to set up as a craft area just so yoU can still do your crafts, if it's to cold or not an option I would take over a corner of the living room if you don't want to use the attic space. I would take over the attic if you can and I mean the whole attic, what an awesome quilting craft area you can create. Good luck to your family.

I think you should simply share it with your son. Move enough of your quilting things out to make room for him to sleep and his clothes. If you both agree, maybe it could work...

You must love him very much and want to help in any way you possibly can. I would too; being a parent, I totally understand.

I'll agree here too. Sometimes the best way to help is to not help, if you know what I mean.
I too am a parent of grown sons. The more comfortable you make it, the longer they stay. Keep the feathers in the nest ruffled, in love. Have many reminders of the inconvenience to you. LOL

How about your bedroom? Could you use one corner?
It would be a nice place for your cave during the day.
Lots of low plastic totes for under the bed storage.
How about half of one of your husbands rooms? No sense in you being the only one to sacrifice.
The couch won't do unless you are only talking about for a week.
How about a large shelf unit in a corner of the living room?
How about the dining room? If there are just the three of you use the kitchen for eating.
Good luck to all of you.
