Has anyone looked in your sewing room and gasped at the mess?

I guess I am somewhere in the middle. I do clean up between projects but don't sweep up the snippets off the floor as often as I should. And I do have a lot of doggie beds on the floor.

I sew on one end of my room and do paper crafts on the other end so when I want to sew I move the mess to the paper side and when I need to make a card I move the mess to the sewing side. See? Very organized.

Yep, I cleaned and organized mine last week. Looked at it yesterday and could not believe it. Oh well, it helps me keep my sanity so I will keep on making a mess.

My daughter came to spend the night and she had to sleep in my "stash room", which also serves as my spare bedroom. She got up the next morning and said, "you know Mom, I don't think you could ever sew this much fabric up in your lifetime." I believe she just issued me a challenge. My New Year's resolution was to sew up at least one quilt out of my stash per month, before I purchased any more fabric. However, the quilt show in Cincinnati is coming up fast . . .lol . . if I make to April . . .

How would you like to be me? We are selling our home and I have to keep everything in ready-to-show condition. So every time I sew, I have to get every thing out, work for a little while, then put every thing away again. What a waste of time--I'd rather be working on my quilts. :-(

My craft room is a total nightmare. I am working on it slowly but surely. I'm going to go back in there today. I need to be able to get to my knitting machine for a project I want to start - and to work on the quilting frame. I promised myself I would make friends this month :)
