Ah, yes, I started out on the dining room table too. Welcome to this wonderful adventure! I would add a magnetic pin cushion to your list of things to get because it really helps when you drop pins (and you will). Also a good seam ripper because you will need to take things apart as well as put them together. To keep things corralled and organized maybe a small plastic drawer unit on wheels. That will give you some place to store things but also a small area to lay your scissors, pin cushion, etc. when you are working and then you can roll it into a corner when you are done. You'll get a feel for what you need to get when you start working on different projects. Good luck and have fun.
