I am an absolute slob while working on a project, and then have to clean up before starting a new one.

Frequently I have to clean up while in the middle of a project because some essential scrap of fabric has suddenly gone missing in the middle of the mess.

At night, when done, I have to cover everything with a towel so the cats don't 'rearrange' my blocks.

I do have to hide the pin cushion--Bad Kitty likes to pull the pins out with her teeth and all I need is for her to swallow one. :shock:

I agree. I must be a creating Einstein :lol: :lol:

My sewing room is a disaster at the present time, but since my machine is in for servicing, I have an entire week to get it cleaned up. As a matter of fact, I started today and found a half bolt of muslin that I'd been missing for about a month. That's bad - when you lose a bolt of fabric.

My house is very sparse in belongings, everything has a place. I believe in less and more less. But when it comes to my quilting room I'm a total different person - stuff is piled on top of stuff when I'm making a quilt.

Right now I would say it is a disaster area. I have been doing extreme cleaning on the rest of the house and things are getting tossed in my little sewing area.

I am a neat freak in my house sort of! When it comes to the sewing room, not so much. Maybe halfnhalf! I am messy in a organized sort of way!!! :)

My sewing area is my kitchen which I love and I keep that area kinda organized. Rather be sewing than "hunting". But the rest of the house? I live alone so who cares!

Any cleaning elfs out there that you could send my way??
If you get those cleaning elves, send them to my house next!! :oops:
