My DH was trying to show off my work so he gets a pass, but I asked him to please never show my craft room again. I was at a loss for words when I heard the gasp of horror...She does not do crafts, so no messes at her house. I do clean up and put away once I'm done with a project (okay, sometimes I do). I guess the best attitude is if momma's creating the best thing to do is duck to avoid flying fabric.

My husband just told me that he thinks I've set a record this time. He said he thought I had a couple of times before, but he is positive I have now.
What a guy!!!!! |

If it is out ( i sew in my living room, and cut in my kitchen) he is going to check it out..and run off with it. I don't know how many scraps of fabric i have found in his toy box...
You SIL should have been respectful about your space. If she doesn't like how you keep your stuff, well her loss, not yours. |
You can't sew if you are cleaning. lol

We were sampling realtors, and a comment was made on my sewing with words involving natural disasters like"hurricane". Fortunately the realtor was a friend of the person I was frantically making ties for a retirement roast he was hosting, so he was able to excuse the mess! We did end up using the realtor, she was able to salvage her commission with great praise on the whole house after the project was finished!
