This is about scrapbooking (which I do), but it could be about quilting. Sounds like my house - yours, too?

Ten Things Every Scrapbooker Should Know about The Cost of Craft Clutter.

Robs you of your energy. Just looking at that pile can make you tired.
Zaps your creativity. It is hard to create with it hanging around.
Leaves you overwhelmed and anxious. Just the thought of it.
Steals your storage space.
Makes everything harder. It is harder to create. Harder to see what you have.
Gobbles up Time. It takes a great deal more time to deal with all the craft clutter.
Spends more money on storage materials, organizational books, or perhaps even a professional organizer.
Robs you of peace and beauty.
Affects your relationships with other people. Maybe you feel self-conscience about having other people over because of the craft clutter. Maybe you close the door to your craft room. Or don’t invite friends over to craft for fear of ridicule.
Leaves you with guilt. Just thinking of all that unloved craftiness can make anyone feel a little guilty. Maybe even a little defensive.

To this day my husband’s still lovingly teases me about it, referring to my craft room as “the dining room.” He is too cute!
