I totally relate to this... my table always ends up like that, too... plus the floor around it and the extra chairs... I like to think it's because I'm so creative that it just spills from me and ends up as stacks of "stuff" all around me. HA!
Did you come to my house and take a picture of my work table!!! Yee gads how familiar is that, a tiny place to work on a 6' x 4' table top! The problem is that I am lazy and just do not take the time to put things away until I have zero space to work in and then I am like why didn't I put stuff away sooner? So glad not to be the only one who does that. My saying is that a neat desk is the sign of a sick mind.

Yes! Last night I moved myself off my 12x12 mess free space on my desk to a equally as tiny corner on my floor, hitting my head on the wall in the process. I find it so hard to clean up as I go from project to project. . .
Hi Ali -
Can't help laughing, I can so relate. I have 2 large Ikea tables over 5ft. each and they are covered with all kinds of things. Each time I clear them, they get filled up again. I've noticed whenever I come into the studio, that the area I actually work in is very small, about the size of my non-stick craft sheet or a self-healing mat. The surrounding area on the other hand, looks like fort walls - LOL!

LOL. I think all artists can relate. I knew a woman whose art room was bigger than my whole apartment and yet she still wound up working in a little 8 x 10" space on her desk. Everywhere else was covered with STUFF!
Without a doubt I so get this. I also have a really bad habit of working on my lap. I have an entire all with counter space and a HUGE workstation/island and I still end up in one bunched up spot.
I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday! I have a dining room table in my studio and it's full of random stuff, that needs to be put away so I was mocking up these little cards in one square foot of corner space!
At least you have a corner! HA! I actually had to get a SMALLER desk because I just made TOO much of a mess on a large one. Mine is about the same size as yours now and I love it! Well, at least when I can see it! LOL!
I can TOTALLY relate to this. I stack up all of the things that I'm using or want to use on a page, and then I get out the Wishblade and cut something, and then I'm usually snacking on something, and then there's the fact that I scrap on the same desk as my iMac and the keyboard and mouse have to share my crafting space. I end up barely having room for my pages!
yup, because we all want to have complete access to everything, and enjoy pretty much the process of digging things out creatively/intuitively.

It's hard to be creative when everything is put away! I can definitely relate :o) I even want to give this photo to my hubby so he can see I'm not alone!
Yes! I can't seem to keep my desk clean at all. And yours looks a lot like mine. I love that beautiful wood. Really wish that I could make myself stop covering it up.
Thanks for this!!! I don't feel so bad now. I have to move piles on my table just to clear space for my layout! Yikes!

Yup, I'm also one of those take-over-the-entire-table kind of people...hey, I think a messy desk means work is getting done!

Looks just like my sewing/craft/school table- I just keep piling up and pushing aside to make room for the next thing!

I have the same problem because I want everything within sight and/or within easy reach.
