(Laughing)...so I am NOT the only one after all...why does it seem fairly easy to keep the rest of the house neat(not perfect, mind you, but at least neat), and my sewing spot is ALWAYS a mess??? But I have a sign on a shelf in there that answers my own question: "Creative minds are rarely tidy." After seeing so many of the fantastic creations shown here by all of you truly gifted artists, it's no wonder if you sometimes have messy spaces...continue to enjoy your creating and forget about the messes...Hope all of you have a healthy, happy, and CREATIVE holidays...Naomi
