MucH BeTTeR NoW

I went upstairs into my cubbyhole...
and found a mess all over the floor... yikes !

Pieces of paper, patterns, applique bits-n-pieces, projects, idea sketches, even a magazine or two had fallen off the shelf. Of course I picked it up but then decided it just had to go away!






It made this little area sooo much better...
now I can play again!
I think I need to tackle THIS next!
Fabric bits for Applique
Do you have an area where the mess gremlin accumulates stuff?
I seem to have several... might need a tidy fairy to set up house!
I have sent out emails with partners details in the Once A Season Swap... so if you haven't received yours... check your mail spam box... and then please contact me.

It always feels nice when your sewing area is tidy. Now whoever could have go it that way in the first place!

Those mess gremlins have a lot to answer for!
If you find a tidy fairy can you ask if she has friends looking for placement? :)

Allie said...

Yep, I can relate - there are never enough flat surfaces in our sewing rooms!!!!

My study desk is regularly visited by the mess gremlins Cheryl, and only infrequently by the tidy fairy! It's just about time for a visit from her again (hopefully). Cheers, Tracy.

I tidy up for 5 minutes and then back to messy, I work better in messy. Getting company to I have to organize, I just hope I will find things again.

I have that same mess gremlin at my house in the sewing room, sometimes they stuff the stuff back in a drawer and I can't find anything . I like it when they methodically go through everything and put it back in place.

You should see my quilting room right now! I go in and just shake my head and close the door on it! I can't face it during this busy time, but some day I'll tidy it up!

I thought I was the only one who kept thier fabric in big plastic bins! I must admit, all of my fabric is in bins and never neatly folded on a shelf!

I like to call it organized clutter! I have been trying to clean up, throw out, finish off, cut into squares...but it still seems to look messy. At least it shows we are creating something.

Oh, you make me laugh! I am the messiest crafter, and when I am sewing a project, it gets a little crazy around here! When you get done with your Tidy Fairy, can you send her my way?
Blessings,
Susie

Cheryll you are so silly I just love it (mess grimlin) My room looks like a tornado went through it. When your fairy is done I would love for her to visit me.
