Is cleaning an evasive maneuver?

Is cleaning an evasive maneuver?

I think when you get into general fiber arts (beading, embroidery, sewing, patterns, my own patterns, cotton, silk, velvet….on and on), the worst part is keeping it all in some order so you can accomplish something. I’m trying to put together a purse (picture to be posted today in process) for the fiber art show. It’s a new idea, so I hope it doesn’t totally go bust. I hate the frame I got for my on piece…I’m going too try painting it today and see if it helps, but I think it upstages the piece.
Anyway, I spent all of Saturday digging my studio out – these are the beads all redistrubuted and pretty much sorted by color:
Here’s my little corner of stuff. The floral box is hankies…the drawers are full of lace and believe it or not, the sewing box is FULL of needles – all sorts (oh and pins, but that qualifies, eh?).
Here’s how I “sort” my embroidery thread….you can see a few areas where they are still tangled, but one is muted colors and one is brights. They are simple fishing tackle sorters – I belive about $2 each.

In doing all my sorting the good news is that I found this. it’s an uncut (so rectangle) Keebler animal crackers box. I have no idea what to do with it, but I adore the drawings. I originally thought I might copy them onto the kids bedroom walls, but they’re a bit old for that. Any ideas?
