Right now 75 percent of all of my stuff is in Nebraska the other 25 % here in New mexico, Once I get moved fully up to Nebraska it should be interesting to see what I come up with. I had wanted to move into the basement with all of my sewing but we just had a major flood in there, sewer line backed up, stinky from what my husband tells me. So thats out. So who knows how long it will take me to get organized and sorted out.

We shouldn't clean our quilting rooms....my mom always says, "a messy room is the sign of a creative mind."

Words to live by.

This friend sounds like me. My step-daughter (who doesn't like ANYTHING out for home decor--she is a minimalist) feels the need to open the door to my studio and look in EVERY time she comes over! I just laugh and tell her when I die, there is a lot of money to be made off that room! ROFL

I tell my daughter the same thing when she asked why I bought another old machine. I tell her that I'm getting one for each of my grandkids and great granddaughter and then any that I may have left over she can sell or whatever; but right now they are making me happy and that is all that is needed. I only have tow and will look at a third this weekend; compared to some people on this list that's nothing; but i'm getting there. My kids are grown and still think they should be my priority. I tell them they are still really high on the list but now I'm first and thier kids are right there with me and they come after.

if this makes you feel any better ..or maybe worst....I started on mine 6--7 monts ago.................and still not done.And my daughter has asked me ....100 times what is taking you so long????
Maybe I should post pictures of my guest bedroom which is covered in doll cloths.
I have found fabric I got for outfits for my grand daughters when they were small( now 11)..oh well sewing is way more fun then cleaning....Right?

I like the comment some one posted her a while back. A friend asked her is she quilted in her spare time; she said no, I clean my house in my spare time. I'd much rather be creative than clean.

I have been working on renassaince costumes for the past week and had to clean up my mess from that so I can get back to quilting.
