I really like how you describe your craft room. It sounds blissful and warm and creative.

Thinking of your first paragraph, one thing I remember from Sirens, from writers who've continued with writing while they had small children, was the setting aside of time or space where they weren't to be bothered. They all did that--even if the space was just separated from the surroundings by a curtain. But of course when kids are **really** little, they can't be asked to not interrupt (babies cry; toddlers don't understand those rules), so yeah, private time, let alone private creative time, can be hard. Enjoying creativity that can tolerate interruptions (like in the craft room) is one way to get around the problem.
