One of the things I hope to do in my studio over Easter weekend is tidy up my scrap baskets. I'm thinking of cutting things up into squares for a scrappy quilt.

Like Margo, I usually tidy up as I go and put effort to place items back on shelves or drawers after use. I have found this helps me find things quicker when in need!!!

As for house spring cleaning, that's next week before family arrive for Easter....

"Spring Clean", "organized"....... never heard those words. I thrive on chaos.

I have to be super-reliable in my working life, so I have had enough of it when I get home.

I'm off first thing in the morning for a few (much needed) relaxing day in Scotland. If the police would have to enter my place whilst I'm away they would find it difficult to decide if I have been vandalized or not. I'll tidy up when I get back...... honest!

When I go to have my surgery on the 14th my sewing room door will be shut the kids will be on spring brake that week I will do to keep the dogs and the cat she sit on my sewing table and some times fabric will stick to her Happy

Well the good thing is everything is all organized and ready for you to jump right in as soon as they leave! Good luck with the house sale. Karen

I am forced to do a massive spring clean of the whole house in one day.... a realtor is coming with a client tomorrow.... all this work and it will come to nothing in this economy. luckily I had gone thru my stash and organized it so the closet was neat weeks ago! Althought the room looks great it looks lonely to me....I am not using it. But, come Hell or high water I am quilting away Sunday afternoon and night!

I know there are two schools of thought about hysterectomies, just like there are about prewashing.... but I had mine done 20 years ago, and it was money well spent!
My dear FIL also died suddenly, and I've been the caregiver for my sweet MIL for 9 years now. Makes me wonder who will be there when I need help.
My sewing room pretty much stays organized. I make a point to clean up after every project is complete, sorting and putting everything in it's place before I start something different. Even if it's just changing UFOs for a while...I need to start in a picked up workspace. Of course, I'm sure it's different when you are running a business and you have other peoples projects to deal with, but it sounds like you and Diane have a great game plan! Good luck!!

:shock: How is your spring cleaning in your sewing room doing? My God, if it were not for my best friend Dianne, I would be in trouble.
Last July, I had a total hysterectomy . That is okay, I had the dr. wait til the quilt show was done. Two days later, he had his way.
Oct., my dear fatherinlaw passed away, unexpected, since then I have been taken care of my motherinlaw.
All I would like to say, your best friend is all ways there when you need them
Dianne took the whole day, and spent her time folding my fabric and putting it away by color. (by the way, she said I do not need any more fabric) Okay, Who really needs fabric?
I run a longarm business, so as I get my life and sewing room organized, it would be fun, to see how many of you are doing the same.
:shock: Are you havin a good time?
Are you having trouble?
I am little anal, so I need to be in a perfect room, yea, like that is going to happen.
But We started today, getting all those scraps put away buy color or fabric type.
Next is the paper work,.
The tools after that.
Hopefully, I will post pictures as I go along.
I intend to put carpeting down, can't wait for dear husband.
Di and I will do it.
How will you and your friend get both sewing rooms done?
Let's keep track.
Let's see how we can make our live easier.
