Why is it that I have this nice big workspace but it always ends up that I work in one little corner? Anyone relate to this?

    Well, my working places look similar - never enough space. My desk keeps getting bigger and bigger and I still have not more room XD

    Amen, sister! I have a craft room that lately was so messy I had to work at the kitchen table. My family looked at me like I was crazy!

    Looks just like mine. Thanks for starting this discussion so I can see that I'm not the only one that does this.

    I have a studio space the size of a bedroom, complete with walk in closet. I can barely walk in the room, let alone the closet. I'm currently sorting and purging - my LSS is having a garage sale next month and what doesn't sell there will go to the children's hospital for arts and crafts.

    I have an 8ft counter in the garage. It is full of scrap stuff from the last project, the "I'll deal with that later" piles, and all the hospital stuff from yhe birth of my second son. No wonder why I have moved to the kitchen! It is funny how things work out!

    I don't have a scrapbbok room, so my "space" is my formal dinning room table and half of my tools and material is on top on it!

    Fun picture! My workspace just gets smaller and smaller as I accumulate more supplies. I keep buying more thickers but I never really "use up" any of them so they just take up more space. Love to see someone else's table look like mine!

    It is truly bad until you have to move onto the floor...and CAN'T because there is no room on the floor either!

    Oh yes, I can totally relate. But,when my desk looks like that, it means I'm feeling REALLY creative and having lots of fun, so it's a good thing. Right now, my desk is sadly VERY clean.

    I can relate! I have an entire room with two tables and i fill up my tables quickly and have a small square, barely big enough to work. Why do I do this to myself?

    So good to know this... I thought I was the only one!
    Most of times I need to stop working to organize my things in order to be able to finish the project!

    Yes, I can relate. As I work on a project everything comes out of its neat organized spot and lands on my work desk. It stays that way until I finish the project and do one big clean up. Or, like yesterday, I just can't stand working in a small 12x12 space any longer and I have to stop everything to clean and organize. Today I'm sitting down to a clean desk to work on the current project. I love it. Thanks for sharing the idea to document the mess as I have only taken photos of my craft space when it's all clean, tidy and organized. It's part of my real everyday life but so is the mess so I need to remember to document it as well. Thanks again for your inspiration, Ali.

    At this very second I am squeezed to the very corner of my own table, my laptop hanging partly off my desk as I uncomfortably write my newsletter. Totally know what you mean.
