Yes, my room gets cluttered and messy. I love to quilt and when I get going, there is ironing board and iron set up and fabric all over, I have way too many books and magazines and love them all. Please do not throw your magazines away, I am the person who buys them in thrift stores and charity stores like Goodwill. I have all kinds of cutesy pincushions on my desk and yes, I know they need to go, but not just yet. I have just finished a scrappy quilt and I love it, but it is a job cutting up all those pieces of fabric and the room gets too messy while I am doing it. I always have about 3 or 4 quilts I am working on at one time and I am very productive so I have no big plans on stopping that. I am with you in not giving your fabric away, it's yours. Don't be so hard on yourself about the mess, you will wake up one day and decide what to do about it. I did and things are much better in my room now. Good Luck !
