I think they learned it as kids. When my kids were small as soon as the phone rang it was their cue to start a tantrum or needing my undivided attention. I didn't get much sewing done unless they were at school or asleep.
Dh does the same thing to me.

My sewing room is a mess and I can say its not all my fault.
My dd sews too and she often leaves stuff wherever she left it. I get fed up and put it all in front of her bedroom door. lol
I make lots of scrap quilts and its so hard to be neat when you have scraps all over the table.

DH has been working about 400 miles away since May and doesn't get home as often as he claimed he would. He's working for his son (my DSS) and being spoiled rotten, so he's not that anxious to make the trip LOL.
Since he's been gone the bomb has definitely gone off in my sewing room and the fallout is all over the house! I seem to have fabric in every room and closet all of a sudden and when he does come home it takes some serious crisis cleaning to get things at least picked up in the house. I can always close the door to the sewing room...........as long as I move the things out of the way that are preventing the door from closing......Oh dear, and yes the phone always ring and the dogs always want out and the cats are always on the wrong side of the door........and I can't find that darned buzzer either!
Happy quilting everyone!

Join the club. I have my pilot's license, I pile it here and I pile it there. I can barely get in this room, have a path to my clothes closet and one to the computer and one to the sewing machine. Once in awhile I dig through everthing and get it sort of organized, and say, give me ten minutes and it will be back to normal. I know anything I want is on the bottom of a stack of boxes but live with it.
DH gave me a plaque that says, Creative people are rarely tidy, he understands and quit growling years ago.

I had such good intentions for keeping everything neat and tidy. That lasts for a day, oh well, creative energy!! I try to put the scraps in an open basket and keep most of my cutting surface cleared. It's too much fun to create to worry about the piles:-)
