Let me preface.. I live in a smallish townhouse with three teen girls, so I cannot have a dedicated sewing room. So, my love have quilting has been growing in a corner of the living/dining area. Seems like the past few weeks, my house has just created negative energy.. it never felt clean due to all the clutter... SO, I spent 9 hours cleaning, organizing and rearranging... and here are the before and after pics! I am SO happy!!

I filled this hutch with stash!

I just love the room and the sunflowers really add a beautiful touch! I love sunflowers!

Jill 09-04-2011 09:53 AM

Looks great! I can't stand to sew unless my room is neat and organized. I used to make a mess while sewing and didn't clean up until a project was finished but not anymore.

LeslieFrost 09-04-2011 09:53 AM

Looks great! Isn't it amazing how much time it takes? And how awful it has to look in the middle, before it looks better?

I am a veteran of tearing things apart and putting them back together, so I know how hard you worked. Good job.

RkayD 09-04-2011 09:59 AM

Good For You! I hate negative energy!

MelodyWB 09-04-2011 10:03 AM

Great job..I have to do that after every project..lol..I'm a messy quilter !!

MellieKQuilter 09-04-2011 10:05 AM

Now i don't even want to sew tho! I am afraid to 'mess' it up! Lol!!

valsma 09-04-2011 10:09 AM

Gosh I know the feeling you were having. Seems like everytime I turn around there is another batch of clutter where it used to be clear.
I hope to start decluttering this week because i'm sick of all the crap laying around. Including camping gear (that's my fault, my camp trip) assorted grandsons toys, blankets ect. Seems like nothing is where it is suppose to be.
You sewing area looks very nice now. Love your hutch, pretty piece of furninture.

SuziC 09-04-2011 10:12 AM
