I am an absolute slob while working on a project, and then have to clean up before starting a new one.
Frequently I have to clean up while in the middle of a project because some essential scrap of fabric has suddenly gone missing in the middle of the mess.
At night, when done, I have to cover everything with a towel so the cats don't 'rearrange' my blocks.
I do have to hide the pin cushion--Bad Kitty likes to pull the pins out with her teeth and all I need is for her to swallow one. :shock:

My sewing room is a disaster at the present time, but since my machine is in for servicing, I have an entire week to get it cleaned up. As a matter of fact, I started today and found a half bolt of muslin that I'd been missing for about a month. That's bad - when you lose a bolt of fabric.

My house is very sparse in belongings, everything has a place. I believe in less and more less. But when it comes to my quilting room I'm a total different person - stuff is piled on top of stuff when I'm making a quilt.

Right now I would say it is a disaster area. I have been doing extreme cleaning on the rest of the house and things are getting tossed in my little sewing area.

Any cleaning elfs out there that you could send my way??
