My dining room has also been my hobby room for 10-12 years. Dining room table (huge) shared with DH's leatherwork on occasion. I have gotten most of the fabric moved to my studio, but there's still all sorts of 'stuff' still in there...sewing patterns, lots of miscellaneous items like hot glue sticks, ribbon, you name it...
Sooner or later it will all get put where it belongs!
