Every time my husband comes down to my sewing room (in the basement) he makes a sarcastic remark about pins or threads or fabric scraps on the floor. I always tell him that if I picked up every pin, scrap, or thread immediately I'd never get any sewing done. I also have a magnetic pin picker upper that I use once in a while. (When I was working I also used a pin picker upper to pick up paper clips around my desk). Unfortunately I have carpeting since the sewing room is in the basement and the floor is cement. Trying to talk my husband into tiling the floor for easier cleanup. Glad I'm not the only one who has problems keeping sewing room neat.
