Excavating Before Creating

It's T minus two weeks until my holiday shows start up, and y'all, I am in serious need of some bead table time.

But my bead table is in serious need of some de-cluttering.

Oh, dear lord, it looks like the bead fairies exploded in my bead room!  What you can't see is that there's also so much stuff on the floor, it's almost like climbing a mountain to get to the table...I've spared your delicate sensibilities from having to witness the horror of my clutter.  It's a big room, and this is only one tiny little slice of it...

I have all day tomorrow to play in the bead room and build up inventory for the show, but it's going to take me several hours to excavate the work surface before I can get to it!

Then again, who knows what treasures I may unearth from under all that crap?  Fabulous beads?  A special finding?  Small children?  (Don't laugh -- some of those piles of stuff are big enough to hide a toddler!!)
