    Exactly, if our rooms were tidy all the time that would mean that were not being creative and sewing! I love when my kids come to visit, but, at the same time dislike it, I always have to start tucking things away, my daughter an grand daughter were here for 3 weeks in july, I still can't find some things!

    What a great idea, to store fabric in old pattern drawers. I am going to look for them.

    I hear ya! I had a small 2 bedroom upper before here, I had sewing in the living room along with the cutting table and fabric, I also had a cutting table in the kitchen, an fabric in the daughters room, an before that I had a 5 bedroom house so I downsized once but never again will I do that, it took awhile to accumulate it all back!

    Don't have time to read all 11 pages ! Whew!
    But I did make time to watch ARTFULSAGE's utube video and all I can say is WOW WOW WOW - wonderful. I hope you get lots of things completed now.

    I just spent the day attacking my sewing area and putting up new shelving units, rearranging, and *trying* to get rid of things I don't know why I have in the first place.

    I'm not done yet...but it's a great start.

    and to answer the question....NO I won't show a picture...at least not yet.

Just curious if I'm the only slob... :shock:
    Would b nice to c before and after pics, I am going to do this mayb tonight after I get home from work, what a mess before for sure, not enough room in the small room and now, so nice
    No before an after pics for me what you see is what you get, don't get me wrong, I do have a dream room I want, but doesn't everybody?

    Donna, you have done a great job for the space that you have. good going. Things can never stay neat if we are using the space right.
