I have discussed this a lot with one of my friends and we agree that neatness does not come with creativity, but I am wondering if somehow with out creative genius we could create a new version of neatness?

I meant to say with OUR creative genius could we create a new version of neatness. I've heard it said that creative persons have their own version of organization which does not look neat to a type A, but they can find almost anything they need in a timely manner. I think it is a matter of priority...

Nope ....I just turn on answering machine and turn off ringer. If it’s important they will leave a message.
My DH though I had lost it for sure. Wish I could have had a video of that reaction. When I get ready to sew I don't want to get disrupted. Sewing is my time and usually when am on my time I have already taken care of everyone else needs. Its nor like I have little ones to care for I know when my kids were little I always did my sewing after they were in bed for the night. I still like to sew after my DH goes to bed.. Habits are hard to break, Am a night person and that’s when I get the most done. Since we have the computer I enjoy online visits with other night owls :lol: :thumbup:

I have to clean up my mess unless I am quilting a quilt, as I have to sew in the living room, hubby does all the house hold chores now, and is very supotive if I am in a rush to get something done, because I had a lot of pain, and am now playing the catch up game. there are times he will insist that I stop for the night, and that is when he sees I can bearly stand sitting in the chair, and he can read the pain in my eyes loud and clear. He loves to watch the process of quilting, and loves to see it all come together, we can sit in the same room and not say a word, but we are together, and that has always been good. God bless.

I am the same way.DH always wants to do some thing the moment
I mention wanting to do it later. now my 5yr old gran-daughter is coming for a holiday and I have had to remove the fabric I had on the spare bed back into a half finished refurbishment of the sewing room. I will try and get every thing right with her help of course this next week.
