Taking Monica up on her dare, I decided to share my 'mess'. I'm not ashamed, I don't feel bad. Granted it could used a little tidying up, but I don't think it's so bad. I attribute that to our cat Chief, you see - he will chew up polymer clay, he will drag around works in progress - he has no shame, he'll even take away my pin cushion if the mood strikes him. So when I'm not working on a project - it must be put into a container. I have a little Rubbermaid container on the floor with a locking lid - a must as I have discovered lids do not stop Chief. He finds particular pleasure in popping off unlocked lids and dragging out the contents of any given project.
So I have my beads sorted by color in the plastic bins to the left of my work space. To the left of that (on the floor) is a little tool box with my ultrasuede and fibers. In the cigar boxes are small completed projects and items that are to be given away. In the white box are my vintage sew on's, beads and nailheads. There are various items up on the shelves in addition to handmade items that make me smile there are little Rubbermaid drawers where I stash cabochons, crystals, doll faces and findings.
In the roll around drawers to the right of my workspace are my bugle beads, sequins, doll forms, small containers (such as altoid tins), ribbons, raffia, pearls.
Under my desk are packing supplies, travel bags for beading and the little bit of fabric that I own. To the left in the low shelving are books, magazines, buttons, glues, threads and frames

Heck, that certainly is no mess! I shudder to think what YOU would think of all the yarn tubs and knitting and crochet projects that are on the library table in our living room AND the mountains of beading stuff that completely covers my dining room table right now. That and all the Xmas gifts that are being made there, too.
Nope, yours is not a mess . . .
Well... okay, it's not TOO messy, but it IS in a corner of my living room, so I like it to be somewhat tidy. If it was in one of the bedrooms it would be a totally different story!
Thanks for the comments.
LOL I see everyone beat me to a comment, "wha? that's NO mess!" But, then you did admit you have to keep it semi tidy with vistors coming & going. haha I luv that your cat keeps testing your patience by removing goodies from your stash. Hilarious!!! Freckles has a good stash of doll forms as toys, those I deem not GOOD enough to sell. Laughs! Please stop back by my blog for my lil giveaway. Have a gr8t week, Monica :)
