MY MESS!!!

Boy oh boy, do I need a dedicated workspace! This is my kitchen table. :(  I used to use another building on our farm, but now it's used for storage for projects for our store and soon to store my in-laws' belongings for a time. So what's a messy crafter to do????? Is it any wonder that I can't concentrate and get things done?
