I agree that reading the posts cheered me up too! Thanks for starting the conversations, and now I can relax when I look at my mess and think "I am not alone!"

Isn't it nice to know we are not the only ones that can't keep their sewing room nice and tidy. Thanks for starting this conversation

I am trying to figure out how anyone can have a tidy room and the only 2 ways I can think of that happening is thanks to OCD or a person is able to start and finish a project in one sitting, so to speak. And how many of us have only 1 project they are working on at a time? hehe And no, I don't close the door to my sewing room. Those who know and love me know what I do for hobbies and they enjoy seeing what I am working on. So don't be afraid to show off what you are working on.

You've got me laughing. However, from my experience at machine embroidery classes and events, I would say all of us fall along the OCD spectrum. It's why we're attracted to the machines in the first place. And why we're good at it. We are perfectionists. We are exacting. We are precise. We are determined.

I actually feel the odd one out. I used to be very untidy. My husband is German and I think he is OCD. He is an absolute tidy freak. He hates anything being out of place. He is now banned from the kitchen when I am cooking as he starts to clean up around me. It nearly drives me mad.

the problem is when I tidy my Sewingroom and want to start a new Project I cant find what I need So anoying

Alright, I could challenge any of you to show a picture of your mess in any stage of the project and I know I would get the prize. I was madly working on Christmas one year, one project after and during another. When all was completed, but the tiding up, I took a photo. I was going to show you and my daughter said NO. She said people might think all the house looks like that!-lol- thank goodness it doesn’t but she said people don’t know me might think that.....I really think I am at a place in my life that unless I’ve hurt someone unintentionally, I’m ok with what others think. That’s their hang up, not mine. My hubby likes the house straight and clean but thank goodness he’s not OCD. Like Sarah, is probably go mad or drive him mad!-lol
