When the studio is all cleaned up

Do you ever find yourself not wanting to do anything so it stays neat?

Lori S 11-02-2012 01:32 PM

Yes , I do have the "oh but I don't want to mess it up " feeling... but it never last long... same for the neat studio.

nygal 11-02-2012 01:37 PM

Wow..that is a huge, wonderful studio. It think it would take me awhile to mess it up where I would no longer be considered "neat".

I did feel that way tho when I recently redid my studio.

luvTooQuilt 11-02-2012 01:39 PM

nope......Because, No matter what i do it will never be as immaculate as yours.. lol..

When mine is cleaned up I always look over "there" where the what's-it used to be and think, where oh where did I put that???

Beautiful space! I would love to mess it up for you.:D

Sunnie 11-02-2012 03:27 PM

Never had that problem. Somehow I get inspired when I "neaten" my space. Right now I am destashing and it feels so good that I have become very productive. Hope to give away some yardage tomorrow that will never get used by me. Some of those "what was I thinking" fabrics.

It's a beautiful neat studio and yes I wouldn't want to mess it up but it would only be a few hrs and that would be all it takes. I do hate to mess it up it seems to take so long to clean it up. Happy cleaning again. Sue

sewhat540 11-02-2012 03:50 PM

I will help you to mess it up too, just let me know when you are going there.....

sewhat540 11-02-2012 03:51 PM

Sorry I can't answer that as mine has never been that neet, but it sure would be nice. You are giving me ideas...

AuntieD 11-02-2012 04:28 PM

Love your studio!!

asimplelife 11-02-2012 05:05 PM

That is one fantastic quilting studio. I might never leave!

Quiltngolfer 11-02-2012 05:51 PM

Great studio! I love it when mine is all neat. It inspires me to quilt more when I can look around and see everything where it belongs. I just finished reclaiming mine from all the grandkids toys. I have been piecing all week and having fun in my "new" room.

HillCountryGal 11-02-2012 06:04 PM

Once I've cleaned and organized my sewing room... I'm ready to get creative!
Your studio looks VERY nice!

Thats me, after a good clean it takes me a few days to find where I put it all! LOL

akisan 11-02-2012 06:56 PM

I do want everything neat and clean but it never stays that long. Your studio is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Country1 11-02-2012 07:27 PM

What a nice studio! Looks big and is very neat. I never get mine that nest, so I wouldn't know the feeling. LOL

vondae 11-02-2012 08:35 PM

Fantastic play area. I'd like to come and play in your stash. I promise to keep the room neat & clean. Ha Ha.

Pickles 11-02-2012 09:17 PM

What a awesome sewing room it's beautiful!!!

salemrabbits 11-02-2012 10:46 PM

If I lived near you I'd help you keep it picked up for the privilege of playing in it too!

Alexandra 11-03-2012 01:43 AM

Thank you for all the nice comments about my studio. I do love it. I have to confess.....when we looking for a house to move a bit further away from the city (Dallas), my husband did make the comment...."Are we looking for a house to fit that long arm?" And my reply was yes lol.

Nope! It inspires me to start another project....kinda like a fresh start! :)

nunnyJo 11-03-2012 05:14 AM

mine is never that neat, always 100 WIP. no joking? beautiful room

Debbie C 11-03-2012 05:30 AM

that's it - we're all moving in with you! this is a beautiful space and I think I'm a little bit envious!! Lucky lady!!

sewmom 11-03-2012 05:49 AM

Havent had to deal with that problem as my room has not been really cleaned and organized. I would probably have a "shock" time out to recover first! :)

katesnanna 11-03-2012 07:46 AM

I've only been in mine for around 10 weeks but find it easy to just tidy before I leave each day. At the moment I'm working on 3 quilts. Only thing I can't find yet is my pinking shears. I know they were on my table before I packed up.
I still have quite a lot of sorting to do but am enjoying sewing at the moment. I am still finding it amazing that I had so much packed into my bedroom.
Alexandra, are you not worried having all those bolts sitting under an open window? BTW I love your lovely big space.

MimiBug123 11-03-2012 10:28 AM

If mine ever got neat, I would think about that. I always have the project I'm working on out, as well as the next couple to start! I just can't work in a place that feels too clean!

roserips 11-03-2012 12:08 PM

No, I just keep asking for quilting fairies that will continue to come and keep it clean!

sharin'Sharon 11-03-2012 01:47 PM

Wow, such a sizeable room and all that natural lighting (windows). You are well organized. i would hate to mess that up also!!! My 8x8 room (does not include fabric) has tote drawers and shelving from floor to ceiling on three walls. Had to make up a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to list all the stuff so I don't have to spend an entire evening wondering which drawer or shelf will I find it. LOL Dig in and dirty it up.

Yes, but I'm one of those weirdos that cleans up when I'm finished. When I had an office job, I never left until my desk was completely cleaned off and everything filed appropriately. Now when I sew, everything has to be put away or I can't start the next time I'm working there.

Raine 11-04-2012 06:45 AM

Here, here...neither will mine! LOL!

sunnymom 11-04-2012 06:57 AM

Yes! I feel that way. However, I think I better just get over it so I get some things done! Thanks for posting. Your studio is beautiful! :)

cowgirlquilter 11-04-2012 09:03 AM

It is a challenge, isn't it?????? Great studio!!

Sunnie.... I'm sooo wishing I were home in Burgettstown Pa....an hour away but I'd drive the distance to take it off your hands...LOL. I'm a new quilter and envious of all the people with such great stashes...seems like it will be forever until I have enough that I would even want to part with scraps. Maybe in the spring when I come home you'll be doing some destashing again.

Pieces2 11-04-2012 03:47 PM

That is a huge sewing room... Organization is great. Time to start on that next quilt. :)

My time 11-04-2012 05:38 PM

Sweet sassy molassy you have a nice big well lite space! It looks neat now! If you clean up after every project it stays fairly neat I find. I can't stand it if it's too messy!

lue 11-04-2012 05:41 PM

Oh I cleaned my studio and it looked sooo good. Now it's back to "normal". I must clean it soon so that humans can use the space.

Grandma Peg 11-04-2012 06:03 PM

Your studio is so nice and organized.

mountain deb 11-05-2012 09:46 PM

I would have loved to seen the before pics, so we have something to compare these with.

patski 11-06-2012 10:07 AM

I love to get mine cleaned and am always reinspired to make more quilts! I like keeping it pretty organized but that is just because I feel more creative in a cleaned area
