It began so well. Tidy and neat like a blank slate.
Organization with this and that all in its place. No hunting around saying the mantra "I know its here somewhere".
Oops, getting a little'busy' here. Where oh where did I put this or that - probably buried somewhere here.
Oh well, there will be plenty of time for clean up later on.
"It is the harmony of the diverse parts, their symmetry, their happy balance; in a word it is all that introduces order, all that gives unity, that permits us to see clearly and to comprehend at once both the ensemble and the details." - Henri Poincare
The time has come -- I've met my 'show' quota and its time to clean up my work area. Although compared to pictures I've seen (and you know who you are *smile*) my work area is actually recognizable underneath my mess. But for me - 'Miss Neatnik' - it is cluttered and filled with this and that.
I love cleaning up after a major project (or series of projects) is completed. Its like clearing my mind, getting it all set up to conjure up new and exciting work. Happily I weed through all the left over threads, embellishments, buttons, charms and bits and pieces -- putting everything away that I don't think I'll need anytime soon.
Ah, the joy of a space in which to clutter all over again!
"Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it's not all mixed up." - A. A. Milne
