:lol: LOL!!! :lol:

Will be several days before I can get them developed, but I'm not fooling, after all that I just did to get these pics, I'm whupped...gonna post these bad boys! :P

OK, Red. Sweetie, tell me this is a joke. You staged that room to make me jealous. :mrgreen: Right? :lol: I would not know WHERE to begin to make my room look half as nice as yours. My room is 12 x 12 and has an 8-ft. closet. There's an armoir (books, etc) and a chest of drawers (notions, cutters, etc.) An L-shaped sewing table for 2 machines. A roll top desk, filing cabinet, and a folding hobby table. Oh, there's the treadle machine and antique wooden ironing board. And boxes/bins stacked everywhere -- fabrics AND scrapbooking supplies. I know I should be embarrassed even posting this, but maybe the embarrassment will cause me to try to do something about it. What can I get rid of? I've already sorted and purged (it went to Goodwill and charity sew-ers). Now I'm not mentioning the bins that are stacked in my walk-in closet and the corner of our bedroom. It's no wonder I can't sleep. Bad feng shue (sp?).I'll stop now. I wish I could rub elbows with some of you organized, neat people -- and it would rub off on me. :mrgreen: :lol:

Maybe we should declare a forum sewing room/space month. Prob a warmer month for snowsewers like me that vacate their space for warmer months;) How fun would it be and it would give everyone a bit of time to hide some of the stash:)LOL what fun! Skeat

Just beautiful Red Garnet. I envy your ability to be tidy. I'm a mess cat and even with a large room it looks like a tornado came through most of the time. Some day I will clean it all up and send some ideas for sewing items taken from around the house and attic that I use to store things. Right now they are under about 1 1/2' of stuff LOL :lol:

Mousie

Skeat, what do you mean by a forum sewingroom/space month? I am intrigued.

I USED TO BE LIKE EVERYBODY ON THIS POST, THAT JUST COULDN'T GET GOING. I AM NOT COMPLETELY CURED....it's just that I learned my biggest hindrance: I CANNOT WORK WITH CLUTTER UP TO MY EARS, ALL AROUND ME.
Now, when you see my pictures, my room is packed, but it IS organized. Not vacuumed this week, but nothing on the floor, except garbage cans and bins. Tables have some stuff that is cut out, so I am working on other table. I will not cut out one more project, until this one is done, simply bc, IT IS IN THE WAY of anything new.
I do have a block that I will do, but that's small.
Then I will get back to the toddler quilt, hanging on my design board.
I only kept the stuff, I know I am really going to use, and gave away or trashed, (oh, did I mention I was a famous box, bin, bag, ice cream bucket collector????) WAS.
When I cleaned and organized, one space at a time, and kept cleaning and organizing, till it was all done the way I want it, THEN, I felt freer to be creative.
It's not the way you are born, and it's not a gift. I have to push myself to stay neat...each and every day, but it is the most freeing thing I have done for myself. I am an addict, I am compulsive, and i can be a procrastinator. I will always wrestle with these issues, but now I know I can do something about it. And some days, I just don't go in there, so the urge will come back big time...and I set the timer. Absence does not make the heart grow fonder, it makes me lazy. One day of vacation, unless I am sick or not home. Gonna quit yacking about this now. These are the things that work for ME. Keep doing what you been doing and the same things will keep happening...I have to remind myself of that.
I hope each and every person finds their "groove". I have a motton on a bulletin board, "SOMETIMES THE ONLY REASON AN IDEA DOES NOT WORK, IS BC I - DON'T DO IT!!!" :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

LOL>LOL>LOL>LOL>LOL!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Some of what I just wrote actually fits here, but in the process of making so many replies, one after another, got my 'stuff' jumbled in my head. DO YOU EVER DO THAT? I have called ppl by other ppl's names, forgot and gave hints or advice about deceased ppl, thought I was talking to one person, and remembering their stuff, only to find out later, that is not that person at all...ROFLMBO...guess you have to be here, to get this...gonna go post this on, no gumption to sew now! (laughing and muttering to herself...) :lol: :lol: :lol:
