Mom, do I have to clean up my room?

I read Jules post today about her studio. She actually can let her children share it with her. Mine is a total wreck. I've been working since November on three pieces for the She Made Her Mark exhibit (I promise this is the last reference, unless I do a happy dance). Here is the result. My studio is a total disaster area -- I think Sharon calls it "creative chaos." Chaos schmaos, it's a wreck. At one point I was on my hands and knees, under the ironing board (with the iron on) trying to find a piece of fabric. Joel walked in and asked me what in the world I thought I was doing.

Ah, but I made it to Federal Express, the three entries are safely on their way to Thelma Smith, who is curating this exhibit. Did I mention it is the She Made Her Mark exhibit? ;)

Now off to the studio for a little, I mean alot, of cleaning and putting away.

This is the area next to my sewing machine.
I had to use the stepstool to reach stuff that is to the left, on top of my counter.

This would be under my ironing board (see the cord)?
This is where I was caught kneeling and trying to reach fabric.
It was just too much of a hassle to move my ironing board.
I think I had a piece of foam core on top of the ironing board
in order to work on a piece.
All my available table space was used up with supplies.


My fabric corner where I throw fabric after using or auditioning.
I actually enjoy cleaning up this corner because
I discover fabric I don't remember having.

My cutting table. ha ha ha.
I used the kitchen table for the last two pieces.
