My sewing room
Claire April 21st, 2008
Or to give this post another title, what I did all day Saturday. 
Do you remember me bleating on about tidying up my loosly titled “sewng room” ages ago? Well, I did try and tidy it up, but it got into just the same sort of state pretty quickly afterwards. I think I have been annoying David a little bit (and rightly so) as I have been bringing down armfuls of fabric for cutting things out, and using the sewing machine he bought me for my birthday on the dining room table.. whilst my “sewing room” looks like a junkyard.
Well, this is a product of a long day whilst David had some of the lads over to play with tiny fighting men. 
Just me, lots of Diet Coke and my iPod belting out cheezy tracks.
I actually feel so much better for doing it (cue lots of “I told you so you slovenly wench” kind of looks) and I really don’t ever want it to get into that state again.
I even sorted out my sewing threads, and managed to fit a few of them on my sewing reel rack I treated myself to from Studio Husqvarna in their sale a while ago. Being ever practical (ha!) I have put on my pretty vintage wooden sewing reels rather than my spools of thread, but I will use them more for hand sewing not machining. I have even sorted out my machine bobbins and thrown out (gasp) bits that were old, manky and a bit battered.
The pile of facecloths that are on the table are actually for working on, not me running out of steam towards the end of the day (I did..) so I didn’t put them away. I also think it’s interesting seeing other people’s workspaces. I get teased at work for having a messy desk, but I know where everything is at least. I have worked with some people with a very tidy desk who still couldn’t find things. What kind of crafter are you? Do you have your own space or corner? Neat or messy?
Can’t say that anywhere else in the house looks better, but one step at a time eh? x x

wow, very tidy!! mine goes through phases depending what I am working on, currently knee deep in fabric clippings from the rag rug wallhanging I’ve just finished.
My you do have lots of crafting stuff !. I keep my bits in a cupboard and a dresser.i try and put it away ( try !)
I am infuriatingly tidy lol. I use the kitchen table, so have to be careful to put everything away again afterwards. I have some stackable plastic drawers, a blanket chest and a bookcase for all my crafting stuff. Works a treat.
I know I’m a bit late to this one but I’m a tidy person too. However, my craft room is so teeny that even though it is neat and tidy it always looks a mess.
It reminds me of one of those puzzle games you used to have as a child where you would slide little tiles around within a frame to make a picture, its about the same size as one of those too!
