I make a mess when I sew.

I've a system for the stuff treasure I bring home,
invariably it sits in piles,
sometimes by the front door for days
waiting for the journey out to the Studio

to be filed.

My filing system consists of pigeon holes,

cupboards,

racks,

& bins.

  It's taken a while but I'm now confident that I've proved it doesn't matter how much room or storage I have I'll always need more.

I'm spoilt having the space I do out here in the Studio however it doesn't diminish the size of the mess I make when creating, it just makes it easier to spread around. 

This last lot of creating for the Talks was no exception, what is changing though, is my ability to focus on the task of turning the mess back into organised chaos whereas before I'd try and work around it.

I'm old enough to have also realised, organised chaos is as good as it's going to get.

So I make more piles

in the hope that they'll fit back into the holes they came out of.

It's with a feeling of relief (that it & more fitted back in) and a sense of achievement (it's still novel) that I can stand back and feel good about having again organised my chaos.

In readiness for the next lot of mess creating!
