i am happy to know my mess is so much like the ones posted here. I think it's an indication of a creative mind at work.When we have the mess it's a byproduct of the project(s) we are working on. My sewing room is the same as these. and my mom always had a room that looked like these. Once my sister and I decided to "clean" the sewing room as a surprise for mom. Years later she told us she couldn't find anything for weeks. Now I understand what we did to her!! At the time she thanked us though!
