Sewing room issues

As I focus obsessively on other things, the sewing/playroom just gets worse and worse.  I'm posting these pictures in the hopes that things will get better, now that people know about it.

Sewing side

Playing side.

I honestly can't believe that there is a room in my house that looks like this...Ick.

'Tis Done(finally)

Though not a difficult or intricate pattern, this was time consuming simply b/c of it's size.  This has been my On-The-Go project for a couple of months, which is probably another reason why it took so long; I rarely worked on it at home. 

The pattern was originally vertical, but I needed it horizontal, so I switched it.  Also the color of the threads were very 70's orange, brown, yellow and green.  I changed the colors to match the new colors coming into the house, next up to sew the fabric to it and make it into a backpillow for the bench in the foyer.  I also need to find a new On-The-Go project, any suggestions?

Turning my house into a Casa dei Bambini...

That's what I've been doing for the last month or so.  I've done very little else, other than sew a very simple and quick dress.  Since we don't have a room available for school, I've had to get creative with my storage.

The pantry has sensorial-on the floor-A box with towels for folding(will be adding clothes and hangers next week), Geometric Cabinet, well, I plan on making a cabinet for the drawers, which are made from 1/8" plywood and the inserts and frames are painted foamboard, pink tower(bought), Red Rods-square dowel rods cut and painted.  On the shelf, knobless cylinders-round dowel rods cut and painted, color tablets-cut foamboard with paint chips glued on them, and top pieces for the pink tower.  The shipping price for the knobbed cylinders and the brown stair are killer, but since Lex will be ready to use them soon, I'll have to break down and buy them.

More sensorial in an upper kitchen cabinet-Open and close box, pouring, polishing, touch boards, tactile tablets, tasting, smelling, and sound boxes, all homemade.  The lower left shelf has Childsized Masterpieces, origami, lacing, and music stuff.  I'm sure I'll have to move things around to get the best use of the space.

Even more sensorial in a lower kitchen cabinet-Constructive Triangles and Geometric solids.

My buffet has two largte lower cabinets, and two drawers for school storage.  One of the lower cabinet has cultural, seems I have more books for this than for anything else!

Math drawer, once I get the Bead Material we'll be using a section of the cabinet below for math.  Again, most of this was homemade.

Language, most of this was homemade, and I think all of the language will fit in this drawer.

So, I've been making and preparing school materials with a single minded focus, because that's the only way I know how to do things, work on one thing until it's done.  Even tho I have so much done, there is still so much left to do.  As well as the knoweldge that E is going to be moving on from 3-6 to 6-9 in the next year, so I may as well just keep moving with the material prep.  It's comforting to know that A will be able to use these things as well. 

Oh, and the sewing room has been demolished, as you can see.

This happened b/c as I was cleaning the rest of the house, I broke the cardinal rule-instead of putting things away, in the proper place, I just tossed them into the room and kept moving.  So now I have avery big clean up job in front of me, if I ever want to sew again.

Seriously, never thought I'd have a room this chaotic.
