I hate it when my studio is messy. It can be a reason to keep me out of it, but more importantly, it makes it hard to work in. AFTER I finished the layout of the Blue Ice (or Ice Blue) quilt, this is what the studio looked like. I had had it.
My friend Buffy sent me an email Saturday morning, did I know VPR was broadcasting "The Marriage of Figaro" starting at 1 PM that day? I did not, but I quickly figured out how to get it, plugged in my iPad, and started to clean the studio as I listened. It took the better part of the day. On Sunday morning I went back in, and started organizing the mountain of fabric scraps and leftover bits. I just couldn't handle all of it, so some of it went back into the bins to be dealt with another day.
But in the end, I got it to a place I could live with.
I brought out the big vacuum cleaner, moved things around, and gave the room a good vacuum. I even dusted!
So now I can take a deep breath, and when I go in there later to start sewing the Blue Ice* quilt together, I will feel much more at peace than I did a couple of days ago.
*Speaking of which, I looked at my final layout all Saturday afternoon, and all Sunday morning, and I don't think I am going to change anything.

Two good days' work - the studio looks great. And the leaves on your amaryllis are SO tall! That one tiny nubbin on mine has turned into six leaves that are growing at least an inch a day right now. I had no idea ... Enjoy those deep peaceful breaths.
Super clean up! It may have been a lot of work, but now you can enjoy using it with a clear mind.
If yours is a critical mess, I don't know what the state of my sewing room would be called! The after looks great! Tammy
Creative minds are rarely tidy.
Critical Mess! Love that! That describes my fabric storage area... I can barely get through! Perhaps after my surgery I can get to clearing it up. Enjoy our space!
Hahahahaha! I love the free pieced letters over your window!
