WIP Monday - Making a Mess

Have you ever noticed how there is a stage of cleaning/organizing where everything looks MUCH worse than when you started? Unfortunately I feel like I'll never make it past that stage at this point because it's a never-ending organizing process for the sewing studio.  I can get one section looking awesome, but the rest of the room will look like the craft gnomes exploded...

It's better than it was, but still in progress...

Another drawback to organizing is that I barely got any sewing done since last week! There was much embroidery (I'm down to 5 vax holders on my list, woo!), including some presents for my parents (less than 2 months late for Mother's/Father's/Birth - days) and a little bit of prep work, but the rest of the time was spent building shelves, tearing down shelves, organizing vinyl and fabric, taking pics of destash fabric, and listing it in the FaceBook group...and now I have to pack up the fabric that sold.  I just want to sew!
