So, my thoughts are, you do it (and if you are not able to do it alone, snag the first kid who comes over to visit and y'all do it). I watched the video of the lady's new sewing room and love love love it--she is way more organized than I am, but I have a sewing room built especially for me in our back yard; accomodates my Gammill long arm quilter and table, plus a ton (and I probably do mean a ton) of fabric, about a hundred sewing machines because I have more money than I do sense when I see a machine at a yard sale for $5, my cutting table, pictures on all the walls where there isn't a shelf loaded down with fabric--you get the idea. And I have been in a funk since Christmas and can't make my self go out there and clean it up from the Christmas sewing rush, so it is in a mess, and I don't want to face it (and can't talk a kid into coming over here and helping me get it ready for my next project. Oh well.
When I start feeling overwhelmed by things I do not want to do, like take pictures of my 486 finished items and put them on my web site or taxes, this involves all the paperwork for 9 months - I had computer issues. I set myself an almost non existent goal. Like 6 items a day to photo and put on web site complete with paypal button, 12 receipts a day, I still get to make new stuff and play on the computer. If it is my studio that needs cleaning really badly 15 minutes at a time. I think for me if I get it in my head I have to do it all which could take days I view it as overwhelming and put it off forever. Sometimes starting with the little bits gets me motivated to do more, sometimes not.
