I feel I am more creative in an area when everything is in its place. I will pick up and put stuff away each day when I'm done sewing. My sewing area is by far spotless and I can say the same about my house, although I like and keep a "clean" house. DH and I heat with wood, which translates to lots of dust. Weekly I light dust, do the floors (in the quilt studio too), and bathrooms. I do dishes daily after supper, make my bed daily, and laundry when needed. I do a really deep "spring cleaning" through the entire house once the woodstove is out for the spring/summer. Then I do another very thorough cleaning in the fall, just not as deep as the spring cleaning, for example: I don't wash all the walls or curtains, or windows again, those only get done in the spring. My home and studio are warm, inviting, and comfortable, for the most part clean, and a place I enjoy coming to after a long day at work.
