My sewing room
#22
Terri, that is actually how my sewing room almost always looks. Plus I have three trash cans in here that are almost always full - *things breed in here I think*. When I posted pictures of my room before, it was because I actually had cleaned and rearranged it. That lasted for maybe a week, now it's back to avalanche zone. As I've said before and will say again, "When I grow up I want to be organized".

ROL!!!! Yes, my sewing room gets that way but I have to admit....I LIKE my sewing room neat and everything in its place. WHY??????? I get claustophobic AND with early dementia (at least that's what my DH says I have :? ) I get so frustrated trying to find things!!! BUT even with a neat and orderly sewing room.....I can't find my fabric pencil and my seam ripper!!!!!!!!! I give up -- I'm going to go buy new ones!!!! :mrgreen:

When I am in the middle of projects I shove the fabric that i just cut off out of my way over onto the other side of my table.When it gets where I have only a 1 foot x1 foot space to work in and I am shoving the scraps and other stuff back every few min. to have room to move I know it is time to find the bottom of my table again!! I do the same on my sewing machine! I pile with the intent of doing something about it later and before I know it I am shoving things back to stem the avalanche. When I get frustrated enough with the situation then I sort it and put it away.
I start over with a clean table and sewing machine but it doesn't last long!!
My DH and I are both pilers and I have to take time once in awhile to find the bottom!!

Today was too hot to be outside so I set the fans a-going and went and unearthed my sewing room. It felt good! But I know it is only temporary!

Terri, my room looks just like that when I am working on a project. When I get finished, I clean up and every things look nice until I start another.
I have decided I cannot create without chaos. I think it is a mark of a geniu--don't you.

I can see some floor space, I don't think you're working hard enough! LOL ;-) ;-) ;-)
Mine was just like that last week, only it's a much smaller room. I'm taking Pam's advice and cleaning and tidying after every project, it's working well so far!

Whenever I lose something like my rotary cutter or a mini mat I go rooting through the scrap pile on my table. Usually it is under there somewhere!!! I work better when things are in chaos. I reuse a lot of scraps and it is convenient to have a pile of leftovers to look through. I don't have to pull out any zip locks of scraps to look for what I want!
Creativity thrives best in chaos!!! But just look at the beauty that results!
