Thank you soooo much for being brave enough to take a picture :lol: Now the rest of us know it isn't just us. I thought I was the only one. It feels great knowing there are others. I swear each time this happens I am not going to let it happen again. But alas it happens again and again. Thanks for sharing.

I just cleaned mine up this past weekend. I spent 6 hours tossing stuff, putting stuff where it belonged, finding a "home" for other stuff....it's now clean and ready to go for New Years day.... I cannot wait. It feels so good to have it cleaned up and ready for the new year. I'm sure it won't take me long to get it messy again though ;)

It the midst of creativeness you HAVE to have a little chaos. If you spent time cleaning up, that creative flow would stop.
You are one brave brave person to post your before pictures. I applaud you! Can't wait to see the after.
One thing I did when cleaning up my 'area' the last time was to REMOVE EVERYTHING THAT WASN'T SEWING RELATED. Like the off season clothes, dress clothes and other people's belongings. It really helped ME see that MY area wasn't as messy as I thought it was...I could blame it on others! :)
Good luck - check in here daily please

I am so glad that I am not the only one whose sewing room is a mess.My DH decided to get a treadle but one wasn't enough.Now ,we have 4 ,so I had to make room for them in my teeny tiny sewing room. So now I have to figure out where to put the rest of the furniture. All I wanted was a FW for Christmas.

My sewing room is only about 12 feet by 14 feet and has a 60 x 60" table in the middle of it. But one day, I am going to have myself a sewing room the size of Taco Bell with so many shelves that Joann's fabric will be kind enough to donate all their fabrics and quilting tools to me because they will feel sorry for me seeing all those EMPTY shelves. LOL. Well, no one never said I couldn't dream!!!!
