I stand in my sewing room, staring at my scraps, willing them to turn into a quilt before my eyes - or at least have the idea materialize while I stand there, glaring at the mess. It's nice to have a room that can be turned into something decent when somebody new is stopping by, but the reality most of us live with is nothing like that.Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16104629019739048666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-58709613024218503762010-12-04T18:54:10.324-06:002010-12-04T18:54:10.324-06:00you are amazing!!!you are amazing!!!Perishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682195297643664963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-10807801463212191292010-12-04T10:08:12.925-06:002010-12-04T10:08:12.925-06:00You are human!

I will blog about it so I hope you come by. Some of your comments cracked me up! So funny! I have like three new quotes to make up somehow!<br /><br />I used to work out of the dining room and that actually caused problems for my husband and I. Now, he converted the garage into my sewing room and I LOVE SITTING IN MY CHAOS! He occasionally (did I mention he is a super neat FAAAREEEEK???) walks into my Studio and looks all around. I get such, SUCH satisfaction in playfully kicking him out! It is MY space and I can keep it as I want it! Ha!<br /><br />My friends give me that judge-y eye though and their spaces are immaculate. They have maids to cater after them and I have finally forgiven myself for not being 'perfect' like them. Hey, if ya come over with a phone call, you get me as I am and I am ALWAYS in my room working!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and your design wall is indeed fun and please tell us what you did to get it!! - hugs from Alia in Muscat, Oman!Coffeebean's Dailieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05683019987532785840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-42526561963283351862010-12-04T00:36:50.669-06:002010-12-04T00:36:50.669-06:00Fantastic design wall, didn't notice anything ...Fantastic design wall, didn't notice anything else.Mariahttp://mac2451@optusnet.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-28821301713585218792010-12-03T19:56:30.634-06:002010-12-03T19:56:30.634-06:00If I sent you pictures of my sewing room, you woul...If I sent you pictures of my sewing room, you would think yours was spotless. I am in the process of cleaning it, took me over a month to get started because I didn't know where to start it was so bad. Then finally I just said Ok I am going to go in there and reach out and move the first thing that I touch and keep going, once you get started it is easy. After two weeks of working on it almost every night for hours, I have it half way done, which makes me want to get it finished ASAP now. I can't wait to have my room back. So keep your head up high, and just touch something and put it where it belongs, and the rest will follow suit. Oh yeah, I am jealous of that design wall of yours too!!!Ann Marie @ 16 Muddy Feethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18043510561974011878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-43011602018334587042010-12-03T17:11:32.817-06:002010-12-03T17:11:32.817-06:00Just cleaned my space that was looking very simila...Just cleaned my space that was looking very similar.

Don't you think Christmas adds a whole other dimension to the chaos? To me it feels like I can't work on fun things until I get the gifts finished, but then it makes the gifts no fun to make.

And mine isn't any better if that makes you feel better. Sometimes it helps me to put all the making of a project in a basket and put that basket out of sight. I know how a cleared off working space can really get the wheels turning sometime.

Unfortunately my sewing space is the same space we put the Christmas tree. So I've had to hunker down and whittle down my projects to a list of what MUST get done this weekend and then I will clean up and pack up for the month of December. I have 4 out of 7 purses done and one belated wedding gift to go. All else will have to take a vacation for now. I'm actually looking forward to it. It'll help me enjoy Christmas more and put sewing aside for a moment.Seamingly Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967039193161769576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-75779927496075702672010-12-03T09:05:11.500-06:002010-12-03T09:05:11.500-06:00We are haivng our carpets cleaned as I type.

I don't want my frame any more. (I'm not using it and it takes up A LOT of space as furniture.) <br />2. I want to work more on finishing. I feel a goal for 2011 brewing.<br /><br />I'm grateful for your pictures of realistic creating.
