It's that time of year again – when I finally have two minutes to rub together to get some good cleaning done.
And every year I swear this won't happen again . . .
Entering the Den of Despair:
This is my work area:
Not exactly inspiring . . .
And the last wall plus a daughter who can't resist a camera:
Maybe you can understand why I wanted a break over the holidays. . . . LOL!!
After a few weeks of throwing things out and setting things aside to sell, here is the finished room, ready for 2011:
A more inviting entry because I can get through the door without tripping:
and the drawers reasonably neat and much less full:
A desk I can actually work on and sun shining through:
and a much more organized set of books and supplies:
Ahhh, so much nicer to work in! Now to catch up on all myhomework for school – anyone want to come do some sewing for me? ha ha ha . . . I better do it.
Nothing like a clean work surface to inspire creativity. I found my mojo somewhere in the mess. Give it a try if you haven't already!

Heather says
What an inspiration Jacque. If I did this I might get the oomph I need to get my paperwork sorted also)
Lisa Bullock says
Wow Jacque! Mine is still a work in progress but I can work in there now.
Donna O says
Looks like a whole new room. Nice new floor too!
Karen Briggs says
okay, okay, you’re inspiring me to get my room all cleaned up. It’s like cookin’ in a clean kitchen:) Aah.
Kim says
I wish I have a den that looked like SU had puked up all over it. But alas all I have is the dinner table. I have to clear that up after every creative spell. Yours looks amazing. xxx
Diana Farthing says
You’re so lucky to have a room to craft in. My kitchen table is such a poor substitute, but I still have fun. The big question is, how long can you keep it this way?

Exactly Diana! I’ve been making some trousers the last few days, so it does look like a very small bomb went off. It’s a matter of cleaning it up as we go . . . . check in with me about July. LOL
Ann says
Wow… You have been busy!
I hope the trousers are coming together easily.
🙂
See you at craft group at the end of this month.
