I can't seem to get enthused either. At least, you have some projects going on.

I'd crank up some Lynard Skynard, shut the world out, and just do it!

No wonder you aren't inspired to sew!

Once that space is sorted, organised and clean, you will be enthused all over again. My room gets messy during a project, but I make sure it's all tidied at the end of it - including cleaning the machine & changing the needle. So next time inspiration hits, everything is good to go.

I think you need a system, some rules for yourself and less projects happening at once. You can do it - and once you are organised, you'll be whizzing out projects faster than you can collect them!

I would love to come and help you, as I love to organize but Texas is a long way from North Dakota, although I wouldn't mind some warm sunshine this time of year! I absolutely love your windows, as my sewing area is in the basement. Just go to it and you will love the results!

Skynard is good, but I think I work a little better to BeeGees. :-D

Just pick a number, and then decide that's how many pieces of fabric that you will press, fold and put away for one day, and then add five to that number and that is how many you will handle the next and work at it like that and one day they will all be pressed, folded and put away. Good luck with that.

I took the pictures of "before" but haven't posted yet, I am afraid that after posting them, it still won't be enough of an incentive to start organizing and cleaning... some day!

I have that saying on my craft room door
"A Creative Mess Is Better Than Tidy Idleness"

I think we all get overwhelmed at some point or other. I try to make a habit of cleaning and stacking my sewing room each morning, before I get started but that is a rule often broken.
I don't know what kind of storage area you have but I have found hanging my fabric on hangers in the closet, by color, keeps me organized and inspired each time I open the doors. If the pieces aren't big enough to hang over the hanger, skirt hangers and binder clips come in very handy and keep everything wrinkle-free, too.
On the other side of the closet, I have all my ribbons and accessories strung on packing twine, fastened with cup hooks so I can just run off a length when I need it. The doors close, thank goodness, so when I am not so "dutiful" as to clean up after myself, no one knows but me!

It is a Viking D1. I really enjoy sewing, quilting, and using the embrodiery feature. Have had it since 2003, when I got a fabulous deal on it and the cabinet. I was still working at the time.
