I so sympathise with you. For me, any amount of creative activity seems to involve making one heckuva mess The friends who helped us move this weekend started making jokes about the amount of yarn and fabric I had…to tell the truth, I was shocked myself, since I had never seen it consolidated in one place before. Usually it’s squirreled away all over the house, lol!

Anyway, good luck with moving the furniture. I hope you feel better too!

I am excited to see it when it’s “all done” yeah…studios seem to be works in progress! Enjoy the weekend off, I should have done the same…it’s been mighty draining one for me…although, I did get out and do some wicked moon shots this weekend too!

Call it a sanctuary as you rejoice in small favors and describe life as always being “not quite” and you’ll have your Sunday sermon while feeding two birds with one scone.

I finished my training and lived to tell the tale!

I wish you endless luck with the new piece of furniture. And I always smile when you refer to Astoria - for a second or two I think of you being just around the block. If you were, I’d help you with your furniture addition and with tidying up that unnamed room! Have a great rest of the weekend.

Rumor has it, you’re going to be right around the corner shortly! I’m so excited. ~W

Just spent the last hour decluttering my studio.
It’s a constant battle to keep organized and tidy! You are so not alone!
Good luck getting your furniture upstairs!
That’s a constant problem for us too. Can’t wait to see it though!

I hope the ad brings lots of new customers to Thrifty Goodness!

I call my little space the Sweat Shop for many obvious and less obvious reasons. My sewing room is a 9′ x 9′ room and I kind of HAVE to be reasonably organized or I can’t move. That’s not to say, though, that I don’t do my fair share of piling up stuff that will eventually need to be put away somewhere! Now my garage . . . well, that’s another story. Thank goodness there’s a door between it and the rest of the house, and I can just pretend it doesn’t hardly exist most of the time! LOL!

Oh, small spaces either do you in or inspire you to be organized. I fall in the former group, typically. ~W

I just told my husband about this and he said I could probably one up anyone. I’m not sure if this is a compliment or a gentle nudging to get busy! I’m thinking the latter.

Oh, well… show him the photos I just sent you. Ahem. He and IZ can commiserate together! ~W

You’re on - I’m so doing this. Don’t forget to save all your before pics!

Oh, sure, call my bluff. I’m headed upstairs to photograph my space now. Let me know the flickr details and I’ll promote this on the blog. ~W

This seems like a good opportunity to set up a flickr group (or the like) for messy work spaces. I know many crafters are in the same boat - our little craft sanctuary gets so crowded with projects, mail, new goodies, random bits of here and there that it soon just becomes a giant disaster. And then the shuffling and moving piles begins.

My husband calls my room the vortex. He’s terrified to lay anything down in there for fear it will get sucked in. The rest of the house stays tidy - all things we don’t know what to do with/ can’t address right away go to the vortex. The door stays shut. We just cleared out a closet and installed new shelves just for him. I get a room, he gets a closet.

Perhaps we can all gain strength and support by airing out our dirty little craft room secrets together. And maybe, just maybe, we will get the momentum to clean them up!
