My sewing room is pretty neat becase I can't stand a mess so I clean as I go or a soon as I stop for the day. My DH works alot so I am usually home alone. When I sit down to quilt my dog wants to help so he lays on my foot pedal and I have to be very careful not to mess up my project. On top of fiighting for my foot pedal that is when the phone usually starts ringing. So my biggest distraction is the phone calls with people trying to sell something that I am not nterested in or there is a recording on the other end.
