So I TIDIED UP my sewing area for a couple of hours. I went from here to there and put things where they belonged.
Emptied the trash. Combined 2 boxes of like fabric into 1 larger box. Cleared off my horizontal surfaces.
Even sorted out my threads into like color groups (blues, whites, blacks, etc). You know that type of clean up.
Last night I felt 'invited' to start a project in this cleaned up sewing area where everything was in the place it belonged.
I had clean, open horizontal surfaces where I could spread out the new project and not lose any of it.
It was SOOOO NICE!!!! It was SOOOOO ENJOYABLE to work in the area.
Just thought I'd pass that on in case you don't feel 'invited' into your own sewing area.
You and I must be kindred spirits! I work on projects for a while, and then my sewing studio (my new word for my sewing room) just gets too messy for me to stand it. Then I'll take the time to get everything super organized and in its place, and I am SO motivated to work in it. I think I do better quality workmanship on my quilts even, when my workspace is tidy and organized. Does that make sense????
It makes crystal clear sense!!!!!
