    Same here - I just shut the door to my sewing room when I'm working on a project. Should have a poster on the outside saying - "Enter at your on risk". ;-)

    I guess I am a freak!!! I don't have alot of extra stuff sitting around in my room, only the project I am working on. And, I never start a new project until the one I am working on is complete. I can stay neat because of the way my room is set up, the sewing table is directly in front of my storage closet with all my supplies in it. I think my neat room is as close to heaven on earth as I can imagine. I have a sewing machine, phone, perfect ironing table, and no one to bother me there. My husband tells me he always knows where to find me.

    I am the Queen of the messy room and my sewing room is a section of my living room. Oh well it is my house and I can stand the mess for awhile, but have reached my limits and have started to pick up and clean up.

    I fall in both groups. While sewing, I make a mess, but since I need structure (can you say adhd), I "schedule" my sewing. Each day I have a different quilting and embroidery project. Fridays and Saturdays (days that I work at LQS)are free choice and straightening up days. It works for me.

    Well I do have a a sewing too that is a mess right now and think it's stopping me from sewing alot. Daughter and her 2 boys just moving in with us this weekend and I figure they will be her a year or more. So I did have a plan to clean and get rid of stuff but 2 other rooms had to be cleared for them! Guess just what you do for your kids in need!
