First, can you tell I am avoiding sitting down to quilt....sigh! Absolutely, the last post today. In a moment of madness, I decided to join Julaine's clean your studio challenge. Remember I am already in cleaning mode. However, until I veiwed the pictures, I had no idea what I was getting into. Isn't there some quote about creativity and clutter? If not, let's think of one quick.
My old motto was a cluttered studio is a cluttered mind....you know, can't find anything when you need it...spend more time hunting than working.
Of course, I have a good rationalization...trying to get several pieces ready to quilt and then getting ready for market. My grandmother would have suggested, "Clean as you go." Sorry grandma, I missed that mark.
Now you can all feel better...where I work is a 12' x 12' room and look at all the clutter you can get into such a small space. More importantly, we all share the same disease....somehow we can take comfort in that....or maybe we should be afraid.........very afraid at what is under all that mess.
Shutting up now....simply must quilt.
Your house looks totally normal to me. And those stacks of fabric are extremely decorative! :-)

So perfectly clean studio is the sign of totally blocked artist???
So envious of all the fabric, and understand the compulsion for MORE even if you don't use it all in this lifetime!

I just don't think it's that bad, except for that poor plant. Sit it in the sink with some water for an hour and it will perk up.
