Mine gets messy when I am busy on a project, which means all the time at the moment. But it does make me crazy. I spend more time looking for stuff then sewing most times.
But then there are disadvantages to cleaning up as well. I did a fairly good cleaning a few weeks ago, and now I can not find the dragon pattern that I planned to make for a grand son this Christmas. And a couple of others also. I am my own worst enemy when it comes to that. I put something where I won't lose it and then it is lost.
I am also so thankful that I have a room just for sewing. It is nice to just close the door when you are done. Or close the door when I am in here and want to sew and not listen to what Dh has on TV. I have my own tv in here and my computer, so I really don't have to leave too much. Just to go potty and to get food to bring in here.
