    I can't hide mine. When you come into my apartment and around the corner to the livingroom the first thing you see in my sewing are right behind the couch. My friends and family are used to it.

    Nope, I am a clean as you go girl. I really do pick up before I leave the room in the evening. I learned the hard way when it was all in my dinning room.

    Almost everyone has always gasped when they see my room but they sure like the results that come out of it. When it gets tidy I still get gasps so it's a no win situation!!

    Actually I must have strange SIL and girlfriends because they ask me not to clean up because they want to see where I create my quilts and get a flavor for it all. My girlfriend visited from NV and was disappted I clean up and organized.

    I clean as I go. Everything is sorted by color and in easy to see clear plastic bins. Once in a while I'll just put my rotary cutter on the shelf instead of in the proper place, but I can't leave the room with it messy.
