Right now it is a BIG Mess :thumbdown:

Lately I have had one project after another, plus sewing classes and mini retreats with friends.

Things are all over the place! :oops: One of these days I will clean it up. :roll: ;) :?

I understand you. My sewing room is the messiest place in the house. I usually have to clear my cutting table whenever I need to use it and sometimes my ironing board. I keep telling myself that I need a container for all my little gadgets that are running free on my sewing table and are always falling on the floor. Is there any hope for us?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh thanks for all who responded. We all envy you neat-niks who keep things tidy, but I sure wish I was in that category.......for the others.....'looks like I won't have to put a bag over my head after all and need to make one of those "enter by invitation only" signs on the door and LOCK it............no matter how we see it........"we are not alone"

Guilty. I will make 2-3 projects before I clean up. I usually do a good clean after I clear out the scrap box and there are snips all over the floor. I must confess, I do have a housekeeper that comes once a week and he does vacuum and dump the trash for me. Now, if he would only return fabrics to the shelves for me......

I Agree. I use to keep everything spotless whole house. But now I stop to smell the Roses. I have retired with a attitude. I Don't Have a time clock any more why hurry & worry. Just take time to watch the sunrise or set & most of all Stop & Smell the Roses of Time with your Love One.

WHAT???? Housekeeper??? HE?????? Is that possible?????

I have been messy in my current space but I do want that to change in my new space. We're buying a new house and my craft room is going to be massive compared to what it is now - still smaller than some others I have seen here but definitely will be a step up for me.

I'm going to really try hard to keep it all nice and neat. I am having problems finding things in my mess right now so it has to change when I move.. and I'll also do a good destashing once I'm in place. I'm planning on bringing stuff to my quilt guild and having the ladies make donation quilts out of my destash materials...

I clean up like super-duper clean a few times a year. In between those times, I group like things together and move them out of my way.

Right now I'm filtering through fabric I thought I wanted, but now don't really want, except some of the stuff I didn't want before I do now, so there was one pile of sell-give away, and now there's two...

:lol:

I tidy up after each sewing session. Can't stand clutter.

Patrice - you said it Perfectly!!!! That's me! :-)
