It the midst of creativeness you HAVE to have a little chaos. If you spent time cleaning up, that creative flow would stop.
You are one brave brave person to post your before pictures. I applaud you! Can't wait to see the after.
One thing I did when cleaning up my 'area' the last time was to REMOVE EVERYTHING THAT WASN'T SEWING RELATED. Like the off season clothes, dress clothes and other people's belongings. It really helped ME see that MY area wasn't as messy as I thought it was...I could blame it on others! :)
Good luck - check in here daily please
