just be sure you look at those scraps before you toss them- they might be big enough for another project.
I tidy up each night. I put my scissors away and line my lipped ruler up on the cutting mat nice and neat. I push in my chair and fold everything up nice and neat. I empty my 2 garbage cans every saturday. I will wait to vacuum when I see threads heading into the hallway. I do have a habit of leaving my shoes in there, I like to sew barefoot.
I just like having a clean room. I want to paint it this spring so I envision it neat and organized and minus my son's books and wrestling trophies, etc.
