Has anyone looked in your sewing room and gasped at the mess?

When I have one or two projects on my design wall & no room for anything more I lay blocks out on the floor. You have to walk through my sewing room to get to the kids play room (both in the finished basement). My kids know the drill, they just tip-toe very carefully over my project & straignten it if they mess it up.
No matter how bad my sewing room looks, the play room is always worse, so it's all good.

As a matter of fact.... I just let out a horrified gasp yesterday
!.. I'm working on a broken dishes quilt for a co-worker with fabric she gave me,( most of it is poly cotton, I wouldn't use, couldn't bear to throw it away.. it'll have memories for her.) anyway, what a huge mess! there's pieces of fabric strewn from one end to the other and starting to migrate into the hall way; I think I'll be done with the cutting this week, so I can clean up.

I don't have a sewing room so my "creativity" gets to be spread all over the living room especially as a deadline approaches. My DH is particularly patient about it. My DS who is 6 doesn't always understand why he has to pick up his toys and I don't have to pick up mine. :)

My husband admires my work and used to ask me to show it to everyone who stopped by. I finally told him to stop, I appreciated his pride in my work, but I would only show it to persons that I thought would appreciate it. As for my sewing room, I gasp every now and then and stop to pick up some of the clutter.

And no, no one gasps at my area. It's not huge, but I do try to keep it semi tidy between projects.

my DJ is in a tote under all of that mess waiting to see day light!
