I know the feeling all to well *sighs* It can be a bit of an embrassment too - being where I have customers that come to my home 'studio' to drop off their quilts. I usually have a quilt loaded on the machine, many lined up under it & boxes of in come'n quilts that I got through the mail that need to have invoices done up & then put in bins under the machine. My system works well for me, but sometimes the work load is bigger than the space I have... I KNOW! Maybe I can get hubby to finish the other half of the basement so I can have more room!!!!!
AND THEN there's my personal projects; of which I usually have a dozen in the works w/nothing but the customer quilts getting completed. I only got one baby quilt, a table runner & a schlep bag done in 2010 - how sad is that!
oO and what about all those toys that have wandered down in to my work shop...
I try sooooo hard to put things away as I use them, but some how things usually look like a bomb went off. The worse part is ALL that thread gathering on my carpet! (I wonder how many miles of thread I throw away on a weekly basis.) Sometimes just run'n the vacuum makes the entire work area feel more organized lol
And the rest of the house!?! 4-get-it! Just another never ending bother! If I ever get my business equipment paid off, I'm gonna hire someone to come once a week (or at least every other week) lol
Thankfully my OCD isn't what it use to be lol Most of the time I can live w/the condition of it all. Occassionally I have to stop everything & just clean/pick it up. I'm not the cleanest/neatest but I know I'm not the dirtiest/messiest of them all either.
(I wonder how much straightening up I could have accomplished if I wasn't here lol)
