I work in a very small studio. 10 feet by 10 feet. Things are packed in pretty tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Projects are here and there, but they all have their space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do I keep this small space so I can work in it? My first line of defense is doing a 15 minute pick up at the end of each day. I use a kitchen timer to keep me focused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time I have several projects going at once and I like to keep things portable so I can take with me to work on. Wrap-n-Totes from my pattern #1501 work well to corral a messy project or to transport a hand sewing project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have many projects in ArtBins and 2 Gallon Zip Closure Bags, labeled and including a Project Action Sheet where I have listed next steps, supplies needed and a proposed finish date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course no work space is complete without a good paperweight. Punkin, our Manager of Operations, likes filling that duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
