    Although my mama's words ring true, "A messy room is the sign of a creative mind," I am in the need for some massive accountability in regards to cleaning my sewing room. I would NEVER, EVER, NEVER post pictures of this mess before it's clean. So, please friends, if I haven't posted pictures of Coming Clean by Monday evening, please bug me, harrass me, stalk me, annoy me until I clean up this mess. I simply cannot function any more like this. Thanks.

    How can I harrass you when I have the same problem. I go in my sewing room with good intensions but alas, I get side tracked so to speak.

    Laura,
    You can do this! Ok get your timer or alarm clock and set it to go off in a certain amount of time. Then work on cleaning up your sewing room until the alarm goes off. Then set timer again for a short break and do whatever you want. When alarm goes off you must go back to sewing room and CLEAN. Etc...
    I know you can do this. Will be watching this post for pictures of your sewing room Monday!!!

    Ya know, this is really a lot more enjoyable to do when you're not the only one cleaning. On another forum, we're having a Challenge for this month where any who wish to participate can post before, during and after pics of their sewing spaces.

    It's really been inspiring and encouraging for so many of us to work on our sewing rooms simultaneously. There's been a lot of cheerleading going on and I've seen tons of progress, both in my sewing room and those of others.

    Has anyone done this on this board before? This might be the accountability that you're looking for. :thumbup:
