MULTI-TASKING Projects...How BIZZZZZZZZZARE!

What in the world??....How many projects can a bizzzzzzzzzzzzzzy bee have going on at one time? This is my CREATIVE MESS.....my Bee Hive Studio...many projects...many stations....just not enough time.....anyone else have this problem?I know I am a LUCKY gal to have ALL THIS Space to play in....but, when my creative juices start flowing, I start doing a bingbingbing from one table to the next.....as my bff Laura would say..."I saw something shiney"

Here's just a FEW of my ribbons & trim...just waiting to be attached to paper....or fabric.....and as you are thinking, "Wow, this chickie needs some organizing"...I have tried that...but when I create I have to have everything IN SIGHT!

And on the OTHER table....my papercrafting.....check out that OPEN space!!!!...Actually 8x8 .....PLENTY GOOD ROOM!!!

Oh...and ANOTHER project in the works ( did I mention bingbingbing??)....SOme Amy Bulter fabric YUMMY-NESS .....on a lampshade....soon to be in my ETSY shop!!....check back at the beginning of the week ...my next days off!

And, in the meantime, I am trying to get my fabrics washed & prepped for sewing BAGS & APRONS ( getting that sizing out , which really plays havoc with shrinkage!)...and the VINTAGE Quilt Chain...ready to go into the shop!!
SO......I am off to work in a little while....guess I better CLEAN-UP!
Have a MOST Blessed Day!!
