    I drop things on the floor when I'm working on something and then at the end of the project I have to pick it all up and restore order before I get going on something else. I hate clutter and my DH is the king of clutter! He's not allowed in my room except by invitation.

    I don't clean my quilting area while working on a project. I agree, everything (rulers,pins,patterns,etc)is within reach that I am using. I read a book once that very intellingent people do their best work in clutter! LOL

    HA HA HA - I loved this one! I have a dedicated room so I can close a door. My DH is pretty tolerant as long as the door can close. I tend to destroy everything while I'm on a project. As soon as the project is done I have to clean up everything and put everything away. If I didn't the next project wouldn't be as fun!!!!

    I'm middle of the road myself. I like things to be picked up, but I'm not anal about it. My DH is, too. But I wish he were a neat freak to help keep everything in it's place ... but then, that would probably drive me crazy. We're happy being middle of the road folks.

    I have to sew on my dining room table. My husband has card night during the winter when he is not farming. So every six weeks I have to clean up, put everything away and then I get to start fresh. Just ask moanawahine. She is my daughter.

    I clean up when I finish a project. Right now my sewing room is a disaster area; but I know where everything is. I'll clean up before I start the next quilt. Fortunately, I can close the door and no one sees the mess but me.

    I'm also blessed that I have a sewing room with a door, lol. I do make a mess while doing a project; and try to clean up between projects. But sometimes I have an order before I have a chance to clean up, so get busy on that. That does make a big mess!

    I am very lucky to have an outbuilding with a very large room for my quilting. But I still have lots of clutter while I am working on a project (and I am usually working on a project ) When a temporarily abandoned project starts to get in the way, I put it into a container and clean that area. I keep saying that after Christmas I am going to do a thorough cleaning.

    Right now my sewing room is a mess because I have this interminable quilt on the board. I am hoping to finish it soon and clean up my room. That sounds like an excuse doesn't it? Bad me.

    I have a sewing room, but, it seems to be a mess most of the time. it is red up now but a few days from now.. who knows. I do work better when it's not cluttered. Then I can't find a thing. After Christmas I'm am seriously going to clean out.
    My DH is also a neat freak without any hobbies.
