I have a small room that also doubles as a guest room. I can't work in a disorganized room. I get frustrated if projects are not together or if things are not where they should be. Consequently, my messes are easy to clean up when sewing.
But, when my guests come, I have to move things to make room for them especially since I use the bed for another table. I'm not sure that my room ever looks *neat* or orderly...but I'm happy with it.
laughing...my nephew (who is staying with us) once started to give a tour of our place and I stopped him when I realize what he was doing. I told him that my rooms (sewing and bedroom) were not on the tour.
