Start with a big trash bag and be brave. Get rid of trash first so it will make the rest easier. I just had to do this with the room that is now our den. It feels so good when it is done.

We are all the same in that repect. Mess then clean up.

love seeing that not only my room is a mess

watterstide - when did you sneak in & take a picture of my sewing room????? I haven't even thought of trying to get mine back in order yet so you are not alone.

Fritzy

This almost looks like my grandkids room here after a days
visit and they go back home....LOL

can we pic`s when it is tidy?

yeah I did the same thing but I cleaned mine up already lol

I can relate. I am half way done with cleaning my space. I bought wrapping paper organizer from Target and I have picked mostly everything up off the floor and the organizing of the room has begun.

DITTO..!!!!

Checking in to see if there's any PROGRESS PICTURES?

You are as messy as I am.

Know that one. I just found part of my cutting table yesterday. Have to work my DD's job tonight (she has a 'bug' of some sort)or I would stay home and clean the rest and sew. Oh well.
Hey, you can do it by the third. Bestter enlist some help though! :)

If you think yours is bad you should see mine. I do painting, making cards, and scrapbooking, all of which is piled up in there.

We MUST be related!

You know all creative genius's are messy.

it is coming along!

Looks like mine!!!

Oh, goodness...I can relate. I did the same thing in my sewing room. I figure it will take me a week just to get it so I can work on something.

Wow, I feel your pain. Same thing happened to my sewing room during Christmas. My sewing room was the first room I cleaned up. I cleaned my sewing room as soon as the last gift was wraped and under the tree.

Ha ha ha, you just tickled me as that is my sewing room too! Do we ever get it right? I just opened another box of material I have had stashed of curtain, upholstery material and am thinking now, where am I suppose to put that? So it went right back in the box, except a few pieces for tablecloths. Another project?

Studio? Oh, yeah...the dining room!!!

I also need to clean the sewing room - just to see what I have waiting to be finished. I figured if it hadn't gotten done before Christmas, no one would miss it because they didn't know it was coming! :) So, where did I start to clean today? The linen closet in the bathroom! Yep, you read that right. So, I'm making baby steps, but not headed in the right direction!! Oh well, there's always tomorrow!!

Happy New Year to everyone!

LOL!! Looks like mine except I have some furniture I had to put in there to have room for the Christmas tree.
Went in today to find the UFO I want to work on tomorrow and thinking maybe I'll have to work on one that is closer to the door,(moved my sewing machine and cabinet to LR for the winter). :P
Hope all of us can get them clean before Easter when more company will come!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Husband got called into work this morning..looks like i will be back in there,plugging away! which is fine by me!

Brave or not, you made my day. Every time we have company coming, my room is the dumping ground and I have friends who want to see my projects or have me show them how to do something on the computer. DH says, "Just lock the door." Well, next time I'm going to -- before we start tidying up the rest of the house.

ROFL- At least you can jump and find an empty spot. I am working on mine starting monday. I decided to put it all in the hallway (thank God it is 75 ft long and 6ft wide) And putting it up as I take it in the room. I am putting fabric on the bolts I bought and the comic book boards for the smaller pieces. My goal is not to have to dig for a fabric. LOL. So glad she shared these pictures. LOL. Not me. :oops:

we had a 4th of July gathering at my house this past year.. I hid so much stuff in my sewing room since I knew I wouldn't be using it - being that it was in the basement (which is a walkout) - several people wanted to go in there to change clothes before going to the lake. I was so embarrassed! They literally had to step over piles and stacks

i am getting alot done! will post photos soon, :shock:

i gathered up some containers to use to sort.. :thumbup:

Nap Time! 8-)

Are you sure you didn't slip into my room and take that photo? No, I think mine is probably worse. Just put up a sign, "This room was clean yesterday, sorry you missed it!"

Office Depot has some really neat clear boxes on sale for 7.50. Today last day. Regular 12.50. They are called everything boxes. Come in a lot of multi sizes. This one I got is about 17x 20 ?. Wanted it to put current projects in & one to hold embroidery CD's in. They are perfect. If you have a store near you & the time, they are super.

Mine was used worse than this!! LOL,,,better get to cracking on that cleanup.....wish i could do in it in couple days! I bet you'd find something there supposed to be a gift! I did! :oops:

I am basicly done! i have one little table that needs going through and a halloween wallhanging that needs quilting...

and NO, i am not early with it..i am late getting it done! ROFL!

Ready for the before and after Pictures?! :shock:

DH swore he was not putting anything in my sewing room so I put down one of those big mouse catcher sticky pads a couple steps inside the door. Guess who's shoe it turned up on. I caught a Rat. LOL Yes he stacks things up so "he has helped straighten" but I am the one that really gets to put it away. I think I will tackle mine tomorrow. Right now there is a homemade apple pie ready to come out of the oven and it is calling my name.....

YEP - that's looking GOOD!!!

Atta Girl!!!

Kim, you did a geat job of organizing your space, Congrate to you.

Kim,
You are an inspiration to us all! :) :) And you worked so quickly! Sometimes I feel like a pilot - you "pile it" here and you "pile it" there! One of these days my room will be straightened up.... dreamer!

Wow....what a mess!! Looks just like mine!!! :roll: :roll: :shock:

All Done!

i think i will make myself a walker caddy..will need one tomorrow. i have a couple patterns, and i made one for my brother few years ago.

And i WILL put everything way when i am done!

:thumbup:

I wouldn't want to post mine.... it is soooooo bad!

Hugs

I got mine done day after Christmas. Cleaned my sewing machines new years eve day. I need to keep it clean but I don't. When I sew sometimes I have things in the way. My husband thinks I need to clean it before I start sewing. What a laugh. I also cleaned my iron and made a new ironingboard cover. So I'm ready to sew. But my time is a gone. Thats why I don't clean very much.
