BUT all of the cleaning and organizing I've been working on does eventually LEAD to sewing. I've been puttering away in the basement, organizing and sorting and throwing away so much crap, with the goal of having a functional dedicated sewing space/safe play area for the kids. This way, the kids and mommy can BOTH go to the play room...they get their fun, I get mine :) And it gets my sewing machine (and all things related) off of my kitchen table (which explains why my kitchen needs cleaning...LOL). One of those big bins from above will hopefully be emptied and used to store batting. :) The fridge just needs to be cleaned. Nothing about sewing in that one...
I have put away my current project and told myself that I WILL NOT work on it (or anything else!) until I get my space completed. It's keeping me motivated, because let's face it...who wants to clean a basement?? :lol:
I know what you mean. My garage has all the boxes and bins I had to drag out of the basement when I had my flood 2 weeks ago. They are bins of scraps that I need to make a decision on. They only bother me when I try to pull the truck into the garage and worry about crushing one of the bins. Solution: stay home and keep the garage door closed.
