I'm a pack rat.
I come from a long line of pack rats.
It's a battle every day because I'd rather sew than clean. Who wouldn't?...well, I know one person who it's probably a toss up and it's thanks to her that I have any hope at all of fighting my hoarder tendencies.
It's been almost 3 years since the big clean up and since we're doing the program for a guild this week, I thought I'd tidy up a bit.
The good news is it only took my about 3 hours...a big improvement over the several months it took me and Laura the first time we reclaimed my studio.
It's not as pristine as when Laura and I did it together. The tote bags are taking over again and I have UFOs in baskets on the floor.
But it's not bad.
The bad news is there were way more UFOs running amok in there than I thought. So, I made a list. I'm going to put it on my side bar and check them off as they are completed. I am going to try really to not buy anything else until the majority of these are done.
Notice I'm not making any promises.
I know my limitations.

What a nice studio you have! It looks super organized, I would love sewing there =) Good luck on tackling all the UFO's, we in quilty blog land support you! LOL
I now don't feel so bad about all MY UFOs. Maybe a few found on both lists (yours & mine) will be finished this year.
My studio (albeit with tons of potential) is a dissaster right now. I am going to take a shovel to it before the sew day on the 29th. I need to do a UFO inventory and really only keep things I think I will finish. Gonna follow your lead on this one!
I like your idea!! It will be fun to see the UFOs being checked off.
WOW!!! Love your workspace! It is so you! It just looks like a place I'd wanna be.....some people say the kitchen is the heart of the home, but for a quilter, it's the studio!

Don't you want to come to straighten up my disaster area, ummm, I mean studio, next!
OK... I have to admit that some of my obsessive compulsive tendencies with order tend to impact productivity... it's a curse I tell you!
Your sewing space looks positively wonderful!
I love organizing! And don't you feel great now that it's all done and ready for you to start out the new year! blessings, marlene

You are an inspiration! Thanks for putting it out there... and really, a lovely space... warm and inviting and yummy colors.
