I tidy up each day, when I'm finished sewing for the day but give it a good clean when my project is done & definitely BEFORE I start another one. Once golf season starts, I don't sew very much compared to what I do during our LONG, SNOWY winters here in Northern Ontario. My 2 rooms are never too catastrophic but it does happen, rarely. I do vacuum every 2-3 days also. I confess though, I am a neat freak & just closing the door so I don't see messy just does not work for me. Maybe I should join "neat freaks anonymous". LOL
