This certainly makes me feel better! I've been on a rampage recently
getting everything sorted out and put away, and since I do that at least once a year it NEVER gets that bad -- NEVER! |

Photographs of other people's work space: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/7774965.stm Right now, I've got needlework books and magazines all over the floor as I hunt for inspiration but my space is nowhere near as messy as some of those pictures. Well, my desk is pretty bad...and the floors too. However, I am moving stash from one room to the next, and sorting as I go. I had NO IDEA I had so many kits, and so much fabric! Charts don't take up much space. The there is the box of things I have kitted out! Darn this computer, such a time waster, but how else do I get to chat with my friends....and find beautiful music!

My work desk is notorious for being piled high and a mess. I pass
this along to everyone so they can see I'm not so bad after all! Linda P.S. Gillian, I'll be happy to take some of that fabric off of your hands. . . |

Photographs of other people's work space: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/7774965.stm -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney UK I guess I'm a neat freak. I'm not a fanatic, and can live with an occasional bit of clutter, but I do admit that every so often I straighten out the magazines in the magazine rack in size place and all facing the same direction, cover up and are lined up at the sides. Even I don't think that's particularly important or normal but I do it anyway. Lucille |

In my design area most carts, tables, stands, and major power tools are on wheels so I can move them out of my way - sorta! On a good day my gotta finish soon list is less than 30 and that does not include paper work and drafting updates. Looking for whatever keeps the memory cells in the brain in top shape - so I tell my DW.G I'm a firm believer that one must have chaos before one can have order!

My office - which has the new improved "filing in large shopping bags on the floor" system. The desk itself is moderately cluttered, but only with my most recent foray into battle w/ the IRS, and the auto repair shop. The places I stitch most frequently - weeeellll, Down in the rec room - I have a small card table adjacent to the sofa - which has the current stitching supplies, references on it - so I can sit sideways on the couch, with frame/stand in lap and work. However, there is a 6' table covered w/ piles of stitching in various stages, stuff to be put away, etc. It's kind of messy - but not terrible - most things are in cases/bags, etc. Downstairs here is a bit daunting, because I have a sewing area, with stuff on my cutting table, stuff on the sewing table, bags of goods, a rolling stack w/ quilting projects in the bins. Sadly, I have the furniture set to put all this away in an orderly fashion. Cabinet w/ bookcase/open hutch on top, but it has to be moved and stacked up - so in the meantime the goods are all over. Plus, I also have a dresser which had been planned to be used down there - but may be coming into the master bedroom. Long story. I also have a "work" space in the family room - as my floor stand is there w/ Twister set up. The Family room is also overrun by a large (6' X 8'X 5' high) cube of stacked cartons which are waiting to be unpacke. So, my stitching area is okay - just a small side table (from a stacking set) by the chair I sit in most often when using the floor stand. Or, I hike it around to the other end of the couch. Anyhow - not neat right now - but, could happen. I do have the means - just am overwhelmed by lack of inclination to straighten things up. That, and being on a stitching binge to be prepared for my teaching on Sunday. And being distracted by issues with car repairs and what else is left in the world of impending doom. I cannot wait for this year to end 'cause the next has to be better. Ellice |
