I would love to say that I have nothing but a weekend of sewing planned. Unfortunately, my ‘to do’ (cleaning house, laundry, grocery shopping, Christmas shopping, putting out the decorations, etc.) list has grown to the point I need to tackle at least a portion of it. One of the first orders of business? Tackling the sewing room.
I’ve let my sewing room go for some time. I’ve been using my cutting table as a catch all for fabrics and scraps, patterns, book, magazines, WIPs and UFOs, project notes, etc. In fact, it’s gotten so bad, I can’t find things any more. So I spent the morning cleaning. You can see how part of my room looked (the cutting table was the worst offender) on the left, vs how it ended on the right. The only pile left are the books I’d eventually like to write reviews for.
Now onto the rest of the house!

My cutting table catches everything too! Then I wonder why I can’t get into my sewing groove. I think in the New Year I will try to keep my cutting table cleared and ready action.
Every horizontal surface in our house – even some of the flooring – seems to attract clutter! I know this about us but have lacked the discipline to just STOP it! My “piles” can seem rather neat – until they just topple over. LOL
I had to clean my sewing room this week too, a couple of days ago in fact. Same reasons….my sewing room looked like a tornado hit it and I couldn’t even find my scissors! I’m just glad I’m not the only one that has this problem!
Looks like home to me!!! Actually I recently tackled the clutter too,,,it gets to a point where it blocks the creativity!
Yes….the whole notion of a “cutting table” fugettaboutit! It’s a catch all table, rarely does cutting take place there! lol…….
