Crafty Craftiness and Flash Photography

I just got done working (slowly) on a homemade craft table for Charlene. To be honest, it's kind of a gift to make up for a birthday present two years ago that I started but never finished... but that's a different story. The craft table has shelves for supports, a BIG work space for cutting and working with large pieces of fabric, as Charlene is prone to do. Charlene is always working on something big it seems. It even has a shelf with dimensions that make it perfect for holding 5-6 bolts of fabric. It has white/cream insides and natural wood on the outsides with a lacquer finish. My thought behind the project is if you know that someone is productive or good at something, then you should help them to be more productive. Charlene is so crafty and creative - I think she deserves all of the best tools and a big work area, which she now has! We just got done moving her stuff from the basement to our old roommate's room and turned it into a craft room/sewing room.

The question is, am I being a nice husband - or am I just trying to get all 200 of her half finished projects out of the rest of the house?!?!?!

On another note...

I was trying to take a picture of Charlene next to her new craft table and we spent an obscene amount of time trying to take a picture with her eyes open. Seriously Char? Charlene is talented at many things, but when it comes to controlling her own eyelids in the presence of flash photography there is only one word that comes to mind: Failure. Here are just a few of those pictures put into a montage for your viewing pleasure. btw the picture up top had to be taken WITHOUT flash in order for her to leave for work on time... hopeless...
