Perhaps if I were a bit neater in my sewing room it wouldn't be such a production (and sometimes it really isn't, honestly) but for today, this is what I need to do before I can even take one stitch - clear some space on the sewing table:
- Take rulers back to cutting table
- Put papers with phone numbers in organizer to be filed later
- Put away misc. spools of thread from the weeks sewing
- Throw away blue jean scraps from mending job
- Put patterns for quilt shop where I will see them when I go out
- Put package of cording in drawer with other supplies
- Put away small and large rotary cuts (mental note, find hooks or nails to hang these with)
- Take daughters headband to bathroom to put away (ignore laundry, finish that later)
- Sort paperwork for future project, put with fabric on tray to keep together
- Move table runner projects to cutting table to work with later (I hope!)
- Found - 1 coffee punchcard, put in wallet (ignore piles of paperwork on desk - later)
- Diaper coupons - put near purse and make a note to take to church on Sunday!
- Joann's flier, need to look and see what I need on sale this weekend!
- Put away new fat quarters purchased on Wednesday
- Put stack of potholder supplies on cutting board
- Put pens in drawer at desk and pins in drawer on shelf!
- Move stack of misc magazines, notebooks, and calendars
- Put scraps on pile to be processed for scrap quilts
- Dust off table
Now it's all clean and ready for a weekend of quilting (ignore organizer full of paperwork to be filed, I'll work on that tonight!). But first I need to clean out my machine, oil it, and wind some bobbins - then I'll be ready for some fun!

Pam this is SO what my sewing table looks like most of the time. I got a kick out of reading your list.
Pam I am tired after all that prep! LOL
