But, he's starting to come around. I recently finished two small pieces just because I was able to find tiny scraps right next to the sewing machine. Toss scraps out? Never! Though, I do try to purge at least once a year. Sometimes just letting go of piece that didn't work can open the door to new work. Clutter does clutter the mind, or so I'm told!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293864952417365250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-4050015504231748882009-08-20T12:43:23.531-04:002009-08-20T12:43:23.531-04:00Unfortunately, my MD and I share a computer, which...Unfortunately, my MD and I share a computer, which is in my studio. He is Mr. Neat. He refers to my studio as the dungeon. I just ignore him. <br /><br />However, since he is retired he does check up on me at least once a day to see what I am working on. He comes in and ask questions. Recently, he has started picking up very tools and inquiring about their use.Susan Ettlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267665073077400278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-8920662220564332009-08-20T10:14:51.087-04:002009-08-20T10:14:51.087-04:00I cut or rip my leftovers into smaller pieces.

HA! When I pick up my Olfa cutter or xacto knife he generally gets the hint and departs in a hurry: HURRAY!<br />What is happening with your left hand that you aren't doing any printing??<br /><br />xoJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04787074582148834510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-87020574423968771862009-08-20T08:59:53.327-04:002009-08-20T08:59:53.327-04:00My DH's workroom is messier than mine, so he w...My DH's workroom is messier than mine, so he would never make snide remarks if he came in. My stash has migrated to a dresser in the guest room, and right now it's overflowing onto some bins and a ratty old chair I keep in there to sit on when I dig in the drawers. I also have an overflowing work table in my studio that occasionally gets cleaned off, sorta, but almost immediately gets covered up again. Oh, for a larger workspace... sigh!Judy Sall Fiber Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172226619205640720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-54814780539141777692009-08-20T06:35:45.597-04:002009-08-20T06:35:45.597-04:00Since I'm the biggest clutterbug, I've com...Since I'm the biggest clutterbug, I've come up with rules I have to follow while in my sewing hole or else there would be no room for me! One of them is that all the left overs have delegated storage boxes in my loft. Any hand dyed scraps go into gallon size ziplocks sorted by colors. Any UFO's that I'm NEVER going to do are now being sold on Ebay, given to a friend who might do them, or thrown out. Any commercial fabric scraps get cut up into charms squares or strips and put into boxes sorted by measurement size.Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-59823097668569723722009-08-20T04:04:30.859-04:002009-08-20T04:04:30.859-04:00My husband comes into my room uninvited, puts the ...My husband comes into my room uninvited, puts the curtains right and says: "Messybear." Then starts inquiring: "Will you still need this? Can it be thrown away?" I say "gettout."<br /><br />My working table is about 17x20". I do my quilt on the lap in the living room.<br /><br />Leftovers? What leftovers?<br />Well, I know what my m-i-l does with them. She gives them to me.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-39456947724202277842009-08-19T23:52:42.894-04:002009-08-19T23:52:42.894-04:00I have 3 higher tables plus a regular table.
