As I get going I'll downsize my gadgets as well.
When my grandmother died (many years ago), and when my mom died a few years ago, the only things they had left were their old sewing machines, 1 each, some thread, a few notions, my mom had about 12 well used patterns and some embroidery floss and 5 skeins of yarn. both had about 1 shoe box of scrap fabrics left. That's it.
My hope is that all my projects are complete and all my remaining 'stuff' is well used.

Getting all my Wip's and finished but unquilted tops done and reorganizing my quilt room. This was my New Year's resolution. So far, so good. I feel exactly as you do. katie
