I have this big design wall and I can't even use it because half of it is used as a messy bulletin board. And how do you like my cutting table in the picture below? Can you see it? See the glimpse of grey cutting mat? It's on a decent sized table but has so much clutter it can't really be used without moving everything. 
If you haven't seen the TV show on A&E called 'Hoarders', and you need a little inspiration to clean and organize, then tune in to it. It comes on after Intervention which I sometimes watch while sipping a glass of wine, but let's not get into that, OK? I confess that Hoarders is the source of my recent motivation to clear out cabinets and closets in the kitchen. Now I need to watch it a few more times so I can get cracking in the sewing room. I am not at all patient when looking for things. I like to know where things are and I could never be one of those people who constantly runs around looking for car keys. But..... good grief! I have been losing things in my sewing room. A few weeks ago I looked all over for 2 days for a specific tool, I finally made due without it, then I found it a week later. Yesterday and today I have been looking for my 'stick-on' thimble things. I have a VERY sore finger from handsewing the orange peel blocks. The blunt end of the needle actually poked a hole in my finger, OWWWW! I know that I have these little stick on ovals that you can put on the sore spot, and I can't find them. I did find two other thimbles, and by the way, thimbles are very hard to use and get used to. I have a basket JUST for handsewing supplies and my stickies aren't in there. Grrrr! I guess I'll see if a Spongebob bandaid will work.

I'm not seeing the "mess" here. Beautiful sewing room, neat and tidy to my eyes. Sorry to hear about your sore sewing finger-signed in as John but Jenni writing!
ReplyDeleteI stole your thimbles for this:

The chickens look great!
ReplyDeleteOh, I like the way you place fabric upright on the shelves like books. And are those fabric origami squares on your design wall?
