My SIL gave me a button, many years ago, with that quote Kay mentioned, "Better a creative mess, than tidy idleness."<BR/>I posted my mess a couple of months ago, then did more organizing, so I could get to the sewing machine, and now it is cluttered again with 2 new projects.Granny Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10537734608666526171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-53383849735326157792007-11-11T14:28:00.000-08:002007-11-11T14:28:00.000-08:00Lovely work in progress laying on the table in tha...Lovely work in progress laying on the table in that last photo, Allison! I wish I had the patience to quilt myself...I mostly just sew down swatches of fabric or glue it down with gel medium...I am too anal to actually try to have straight edges and perfectly matched points so I gave up traditional quilting...but admire the talent in others!Jo Anne O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15893357205938906463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-17144931063670967642007-11-11T10:22:00.000-08:002007-11-11T10:22:00.000-08:00I'm much encouraged by your mess.

Then recently a reporter wanted to come out and write an article about my goats and handicrafts. A reporter taking pictures of my sewing and work room!! I was so glad I had already started organizing things so I was able to have it decent before he came. I did take some “before” pictures and have not taken some “after” pictures yet. Y’all better clean up. You never know when a reporter may want to interview you and see your work room!Southern Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02854732663299482276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-81361927732512464512007-11-09T13:23:00.000-08:002007-11-09T13:23:00.000-08:00Can't we all relate?
