Everything is in its place - handy to where I am quilting or sewing and not locked away where I can't find it or have difficulty getting it out and putting it away all the time. It only seems to worry the neat freaks. I'm not bothered and I'm the one who lives here, not them. I am amazed that they feel the need to comment after a 10 minute visit anyway. It is only work mess - not something that will attract vermin.
