If you want something in the bottom box, tough luck. The other thing is that we can&#8217;t really do anything. I have a small space to work (and occasionally write a blog post), we can watch TV and sleep, but that&#8217;s it. No sewing, no cutting, no EPP unless it is hand work that needs no prep, no extra fabric nothing else. I like to be able to sew whenever I want, so this is difficult.<\/p>\n<p>My mantra is that it will be awesome when it is done.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53581\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53581\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210718_214527-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-53581\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210718_214527-sm-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Workroom is almost empty\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210718_214527-sm-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210718_214527-sm-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210718_214527-sm.jpg 832w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53581\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Workroom is almost empty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One reason for all this disorganization is that there is almost nothing in my workroom.<\/p>\n<p>My sewing table and my work desk are still in the room, only because they are too heavy and awkward for the two of us to move downstairs.
