Yes, my sewing room does look like a tornado went through there - I have all my fabric on foam storage boards but no shelves to store them so I sort of pile them on top of each other - of course when I am looking for fabric - I have to dig through the whole pile.
Hubby and I have an understanding - I don't go into his workshop and complain about his lack of organization and he does not come into my sewing room and do the same - works for us.

MIne is a total mess right now! I have been working on too many projects here and there, and it looks like a tornado hit it! Well maybe not that bad. Add the fact that I have Christmas stuff, wrapping, boxes,decorations, my shopping items from the weekend shoved in there also. I usually try to keep it picked up and somewhat organized. Love the fact I have a door, just close it and leave it. My dh never says anything when he walks thru it to get to his den. Good thing to :)

Nope, no cleaning up here while working on a project. My hubby is a major neat freak too. Thank God my sewing/computer room is ina separate room or he would be pitching stuff out!

I'm sure there's probably a better psychological name for this, but hummingbird just sounds so much better and so much less neurotic!!

I like the way you think! Mind if I adopt "hummingbird as my new mascot" - besides they are cute.

I am there -- and now I am trying to find some Christmas gifts I hid in the sewing room before I moved stuff into it. Sigh!! I want to sew but need to clean -- ugh!!!!

Ha Ha. Yes, my husband is a very tidy person. He stands at the door of my sewing room and takes it all in for a long time - he just doesn't understand how I can make such a mess. I find it quite easy - lol.

I love the "messy, busy look". There is a place for everything, and something else is always in that place! LOL

Both DH and I are neat freaks. I straighten my sewing room every day and put everything away. Whatever the current project I leave it on my cutting table, but everything else is put away. I can't work in my sewing room if it's messy.

I'm the same way, but it doesn't bother me, or my dh, because he doesn't come down to my sewing room.

I clean my sewing room only when it is driving me crazy :)
