I too, have a dedicated room for my bearmaking activities. I know when it needs tidying...when my three little dogs cannot find enough space on the floor to lie down to go to sleep. It seems to be worse when I am working on a brand new pattern as I agonise over every aspect...

By the way, many congratulations on your nominations!!

Regards

I know it's time to clean mine when I have no place to eat dinner, and can't get to the computer - my studio is also my living room, computer room and dining room bear_laugh

Yes Sue! The dogs need a place to sleep. My cats like sleeping in a messy studio better. They enjoy laying on papers and inside open boxes!

I can surely understand...I spend a couple of days organizing my bear and doll studio ( I also have a studio for my watercolors). Then I begin another project...voila...mohair all over; pattern pieces piled next to the sewing maching; box full of bear supplies; box full of doll projects; six shelves full of boxes of different colored material; oh yes, washer and dryer on one side. My hubby bought me a nice big table to cut fabric and work at and put it nicely in front of the window. Well...my little dog decided it was a nice place to nap and watch out the windor for squirrels so it is now "hers"! Now, I am starting to stack boxes of "stuff" on the floor. I have two headless babies on the counter waiting for their hair to be rooted. I get claustraphobia just entering the door!!! I just had a new floor put in the room but I don't know why, I can't ever see it...

You know I'd like to say yes, but mostly as long as there's a path through... bear_whistle

I know it's time to clean my bearmaking space when... I cannot see the floor. I was hoping to take over our spare room for a studio but my Mum ended up putting a queen sized bear in there. So I end up doing a lot of my sewing in my bedroom. Once I start tripping over things and the floor can't been seen then I know its time for a cleanup. Which is quite often as my room always looks like a bomb hit it. Hopefully once my sister moves out in a few months I can use her room as a storeroom for all my bearmaking and craft supplies. bear_grin
