I do put away all notions, rulers etc.
Fabric can wait, floors can wait.

My sewing room looks like I am becoming a hoarder, so I moved the machine to the dining room table and work there! The sewing room door is always closed. It is too small to hold everything that is in it.

At home I usually leave a current project out - hoping to get back to it quickly. At my rented studio (because it's in an office complex) I'm good about cleaning up before I leave.

I am a neat and tidy hoarding slob. Not a surface slob but a hidden slob. I hide my hoard in the cabinets, not neatly. So it looks neat and tidy on the surface.

yes, I do both, must be the Gemini in me!

I'm anal. When I've finished for the day or for the session, I put up all my rulers, organize my project pieces so they will be in order when I return. I have special containers for my notions that I use on a regular basis. I put away fabric when I finish cutting.

Now, the floor is another story. I only vaccum about once a month or until I can't stand it anymore.

Most of my house is very very clean. (I am OCD.) If my sewing room is that clean, I feel totally uninspired! ROFL

I am an OCD sort of person-put away and clean up after each project and even find myself cleaning up during a project if I am done with something. I have learned from past disasters, repurchasing items I already had and can't find, etc. that I get more done on projects if I am not always looking for something.

GASP!!

It's MY room -- you can't make me clean it up!!!!!! I don't close the door cuz my computer is in here. I've accomplished the ability to TOTALLY IGNORE the mess!!!! :)
