I clean when I start a new quilt, until it is finished the room is a mess. If someone doesn't like it - they can clean it or shut up.

That's why rooms have doors! My room is MY room and I pity the fool who goes in there unescorted. They may never find their way out.

My place of sewing, it's like my mood: cyclic!
Sometimes clean ... Sometimes there is a layer of dust!
The floor is kept clean, especially my dog ​​that lives revolve around the workplace and do not want to get hurt.
But my desk rarely shows the glass covers and many more, even looms with the amount of things that are on it!
If you would serve ... always good for you!
Be happy and enjoy the moment! Life is short!
A hug!

If I'm in the middle of a project, things stay where they are. Towards the end of a project, things begin to return to their proper place. At the end of the project, most things are back where they belong and I vacuum, etc. before I start the next project. UNLESS, of course, I have the grand children coming. THEN everything gets put away (I sew in my spare bedroom) from curious little hands! Once they're gone, everything comes back out.

I clean when I can't find my last pair of scissors (I have 15 pairs).

If I skip from one project directly into another, without cleaning, I can't find anything! My room is so small that if I don't clean up between them, you can't even walk safely in there :)

So - I think I'm both also :)



I guess I'm with you. In a 1 bdrm apt. it's keep things relatively tidy or you just might fall and break you neck. Besides, I really can't stand a mess like that. Must have taken after mom.

I just reorganized the sewing room furniture. Now I need to get all my stuff back in it and organize it. SO far, I have found multiples of just about everything. For about 2 weeks I will have the urge to keep it clean as I go. In about 3 weeks the room will most likely be a creative disaster zone. Slob here!

I clean everything when I'm finished with a project. Otherwise I'd have no room in my "studio".

Door is closed when not in use. It gets cleaned when I have the quilt ladies over here, or when it gets so bad that I can't stand the mess anymore!
