The fabric room ( a bedroom filled with rubbermaid totes of fabric) and the living room, which has a sofa, some other furniture, my machines and my frame in it, are right now awash in fabric. I can't see the sofa.

It's hard in some ways because I have so much vintage barkcloth- it's bulky and I often find bargains on things like slipcovers, so my fabric is not all neatly and consistently foldable. All different weights and shapes and sizes. And then there is the fusible fleece. arghhh!!!!

I periodically dig out, attempt to organize and start over, but it's never fully organized. Partly because I use two rooms which are in different parts of the house, and partly because I never put anything back.

Someday, I will have a studio with enough room and some organizational tools. My best friend is a professional organizer, but she is in Western Mass, and I am in Tulsa. damn it.

Maggie...We need to talk <grin> We are kindred spirits! I am the messiest person. As much as I have always wanted to be Ms Susie Homemaker, it ain't gonna happen! You going with us to Kellyville next Friday?
