INviting I don't think so. it is very messy >But I think my problem with not wanting to go in there is I feel like im in a tiny dark dungon. i get lonesome done ther all by myself :)

Such a good reminder! Because my sewing room is so tiny, and I have so much sewing/quilting supplies and equipment, it gets messed up very easily. After every several projects I try to organize and regroup before starting on another one. Not major cleaning, but just putting up the spools of thread, folding fabric, putting away patterns etc; kind of like wiping the table before you serve the next meal. There is no danger of it ever looking too organized though because of the limited space and the amount of stuff. It will forever have that lived in look:-)

I am always welcome in my sewing room. Of course, there may not be room for visitors, and the pups, and then I tidy up and get right back at it. The clutter is something that says I am accomplishing an art

I have that Singer Sewing Machine Book and every once in a while I pull it out and wonder what Mr. Singer would have thought about me sewing in my pjs or my robe all day or all night?

My sewing space is never perfect, mainly due to size...small for sure. It's the other chaos I can't stand.When bed is made, dishes done & bathrm clean....then I can sew. :-)

I went from here to there and put things where they belonged. Emptied the trash. Combined 2 boxes of like fabric into 1 larger box. Cleared off my horizontal surfaces. Even sorted out my threads into like color groups (blues, whites, blacks, etc). You know that type of clean up. Last night I felt 'invited' to start a project in this cleaned up sewing area where everything was in the place it belonged. I had clean, open horizontal surfaces where I could spread out the new project and not lose any of it. It was SOOOO NICE!!!! It was SOOOOO ENJOYABLE to work in the area. Just thought I'd pass that on in case you don't feel 'invited' into your own sewing area. |

My room is inviting. It's inviting me to come in and clean! I guess that is why I can't settle on a new project. I need to clean up from the last one.

My sewing room is inviting only to me..... oh, and the grandchildren. They always seem to find things to fool with -- and of course they like to turn on the TV and sit at the sewing machine to watch. :o)
