Sewing room straight, not possible to clean it. Am having withdrawl pains. in spite of making cookies and wrapping the last of the gifts, my mind is in my sewing room. Is anyone else having this problem.

Use the dustpan and small broom. Sweep everything into the pan and GENTLY shake it. The beads float to the top and the dirt, etc. sink to the bottom. Ask how I know this!

Hope it's not too late. Well, okay if it's to late, then you're done picking up. So, maybe I do....

I have finished the presents, cookies and quilting gifts, now I need to get into my sewingroom, if I can, and clean it up, it is a mess..but sometimes I think it becomes a catch all. When the holidays are over, you will find me in the sewingroom and don't bother me!!! Everyone have a wonderful holiday.

I just finished sewing the last of my gifts today, so took a little time and started to staighten up the sewing room. I know I won't get it all done before Christmas, but my plans are to get it organized after the holidays. I told my husband all the gifts were made so anything I sew on the next two weeks before I go back to work will be for me.

I hope you gave your family a picture of you for Christmas because after the New Year they won't be seeing much of you. Have Fun!

I'd like to say that I would keep my sewing room organized, but I know me. I get the quilt pattern in my head and cutting it, and there goes the floor and probably the fabric wouldn't get back on the shelf. What keeps my room neat and organized is the fact that people could knock on the door and want to buy or order a quilt, and I don't want anyone to see a messy room.

use tape to pick up beads you can always take them off later when you have time

Unfortunately I made the habit of throwing thread etc on the dining room floor and I would sweep it up when I was done. my spare bedroom is carpeted and its fairly new carpeting so no real reason to tear it up. I guess I will have to instill new habits? Dont they say it takes at least 6 weeks to change and form a new habit? LOL
