Garage a Storage of Mess

So I've been trying to clean and get the garage organized as my primary work area for a few years now. I always end up thwarted by projects, school work, or mother nature. Here are some pictures of my cleaning attempts in January during winter break.

Some of the junk sitting in front of my garage.

What it looks like inside.

So much stuff so little space!!!

It's still a total mess. But at least I'm moving in the right direction. I lost momentum due to the heavy rains we were getting in January. It was really frustrating.

My mom's second hand sewing machine from who knows when.
I think it's older than me!!

Here is this golden lion that stares at me as I sew.
It's sort of ugly but it's been there as long as I can remember so I guess it's gonna stay staring at me.

Since then I've had my dad build me a 4' x 8' cutting table. But it's even messier than before, since I've been working on projects in there, regardless of the mess. It's a tight squeeze but at least everything is in one place and I don't have to run between the house and the garage to cut, press, and then sew.

I found a solder. Dad says he'll teach me how to use it.
But how hard can it be. <-- famous last words

Now I only need to truly clean and organize to get it to be the perfect sewing studio. Well except for the cold . . .
