Task #2 of the Prairie Moon Quilts 2010 Final Count down challenge is:
Clear off a flat surface in your sewing area
I need to spend a couple of hours on the flat surfaces of my sewing room. There are four of them – not including the floor or my desks and chest of drawers 🙂
1 – the ironing board
It’s not too bad — but then I had just dumped a bunch of stuff on the floor so I could play with some fabric.
2 – guest sewing table
It’s a flat surface, so what can I say, we come into the house from the garage and dump everything here.
3 – the cutting table
I recently cleared the guest sewing table and ironing board by dumping everything on to my cutting table. When I need to cut something I pull out a mat and put it on the ironing board.
4 – My sewing table.
Ignore the open binder. That’s a rolling cart with a work binder on it. The pile of stuff on the right is a combination of personal and work papers I haven’t needed in a while. Mixed in are parts and pieces of at least one quilt, and a windbreaker.
So what did I do instead of clearing these flat surfaces? Made the pillowcase to go with No Blue Geese in my Tropical Garden.
It should count toward cleaning up – the fabric needed to be put up and I needed a pillowcase. Actually, I’m working on the areas and have made progress on three of the areas. Look for pictures either later tonight or tomorrow.
You’re so brave to take a picture of the Messy part of your flat surfaces. I would have to clean up a lot if I took that Challenge! Maybe I’d find the UFO’s I’ve been looking for…
I love that you have gone above and beyond. I should clean off my daybed, which is where I seem to dump everything while it’s waiting to be cut, put away or handled in some manner. Maybe later…
I’m laughing so hard right now! That is SOOO something I would do — ignore what needs to be done and go make something. This is how I get into the messes I get into! You’re being quite ambitious, tackling 4 spots. I myself have a couple more that need help, but even I only tackled one for this project! Way to go . . .
