Interesting! I’m the opposite. If I walk into my studio and it’s cluttered, it depresses me, and I’m uninspired. When I get it all straightened up, it’s motivating. Different strokes . . . That said, I don't keep it neat all the time. Things seem to end up on the floor to clear space on the cutting table, ironing board, sewing machine ... You'd probably be happy in my studio!

Amazing what a little cleaning will do for the "prettiness" of a room.
I started doing this and ended up with fabrics cut for several premie quilts. Then had to sew them together. Still have a mess on the cutting table!

That’s me! See comment above. It always seems to get worse before it gets better.
And I really need a new pressing board cover, too! I have the fabric, just haven’t done it yet. And I have fabric to make a cover for my serger.
Guess I should get in there and use this thread as my inspiration!
