I thrive in my messy space also.I think when I put it all away my mind thinks I'm done with it.
So,my space is messy.My house is somewhat messy too.But,that's how I roll.I think if it is left out my brain organizes the next step or colors or something else as I'm working on something else.Because sometimes it's setting out because I'm stuck.Sometimes just because I love the color,pattern,the event I bought it at,ect....Sometimes I just leave it out.Like I said "Just how I roll".
