Excellent WMUTeach!
Your post reminds me of a decluttering/organizing video I saw yesterday. The person said when you enter your home (or in our cases your sewing room/quilting studio) pretend like you're a guest who's seeing it for the first time. It will help you see the things that have been piled up for so long that you don't even notice them any more. I tried it- Yikes!- no wonder I've been feeling stressed every time I go into my studio! At least that exercise helped me see some more things to declutter.
