I love the containers/boxes you have on the left of your machine. I have way too much fabric to not use a zillion of them (way too $$$ too).
If my camera was working I would take a pic of my studio.

Oh no, Janet, really? When was the last time you cut or sewed? Go on now-- get in that nice room this weekend and have some fun!
I'm gonna go take pix of my sewing area later. It's messy, but I sew there almost every morning.

They are vintage tin kitchen containers - you know, like flour, sugar, coffee?
I keep extra 2" fabric strips rolled up in the largest; buttons in the middle, and safety pins in the smallest.

so, holding my nose and shutting my eyes...here we go, one more time...

Now it will go into a small outfit for her youngest. I have made several outfits for her kids from fabric I used for her.
I love doing that!
Middle DD just showed me some cotton fabrics last night that I gave to her before i ever got into quilting...very pretty.
Too bad i didn't have a crystal ball, but oh, well, I am thrilled that she is really getting into sewing. Not quilting yet, but you wait...somewhere down the line, that quilting bug is just waiting to sink his chompers into her.
As soon as she figures out that all quilts are not alike and don't have to be scrappy or country kitsch, (as she calls it, affectionately) ;)

That line of thinking kept me at least THINKING I was sane in my job as Admin Assistant. My desk was never totally cleaned up. I'm at my most creative in my sewing area when it seems the messiest. (at least to DH)
