I have found that after cleaning and straightening the entire room you have 2 choices on how to keep it that way Option #1 =STAY OUT or Option#2 Take several Pictures to prove it was clean at one time :lol:

The dust bunnies have taken over, the dust is thick ( I save this for the garden-free soil), the kitchen is clean - that is where I entertain, soooo why worry about the rest of the house. he he

I have to keep my sewing room clean. It is small and if I have too much laying around I can't move. I try, sometimes I don't make it, to have just one project going at a time. Everything else is put away. Another reason I keep everything in it's place is my cat. My sewing room is her domain. If anything is laying around she thinks it is her cat toy.

A always clean sewing room is the sign of a person who does not quilt. Mine is always clean by the end of the day and the mess starts the next day again.

Look at it as creative genuis at work - have you ever seen pictures of Einstein's office? I'm lucky - my sewing room is my sewing room and I close the door if a "non-quilter" comes to visit. My family knows to enter at their own risk.

I keep it neat as I go. I usually organize the mess after I'm done sewing for the day. This way it is ready for me to start sewing again & I know where everything is and where I'm at in making my blocks etc. It works for me. Right now I just need to get my fabrics organized in a cabinet instead of all being in bins.

If you figure it out clue me in! Mine is the same way. I think part of the problem is that it is small and crammed with supplies and fabric :oops: :oops: :shock: :?:

I do quilting, embroidery and beading - your sewing room probably looks very neat compared to mine!!

I usually put things away in the evening when I stop working, however it really gets messy pretty quick once I get started in the morning. For some reason I can't get my scraps under control. The stack you see in the corner behind the ironing board is from the last 3 or 4 months. I know I did a major clean in January.
