Learning should be a lifelong passion; when we quit learning, something inside us has died.
Re: Creating in chaos
Unlike you, I have a messy, noisy space. I can "tune" out the clutter. Admittedly though I must do a little cleanup so I have some space to work on a larger project that needs to be started. Often times I reach a point that I must clean up the messy, turn down the volume so to speak. Yes we all work differently!

Again thanks for starting the thread.

Totally agree re lifelong passion. And I think I might be kidding myself about how tidy I ever make my workspace...!

I absolutely agree with this.

My quilting space is messy, but it is nowhere near Francis Bacon messy! That would squash my creativity; I would take one look at the mess, feel completely overwhelmed and dismayed, turn and walk away.
