I do clean up when I get to the point that I can't step over it any more, I am very very organized (drawers and bins all have labels) and I can put my hands on anything I need...even when it is strewn all over the room...but I don't want to have to think about clean up while I am creating! Leave me alone...let me creaate...I can clean later (any fool can clean, it takes a genius to create art!).

So many good prices. My suggestion would be about pricing of fabric. I understood when the price of cotton went up due to cotton shortages, but they sure didn't go back down when the cotton became plentiful!
