The short answer is yes. I consider my work room just that, it is a room for working in, with several projects in process at any one time. Is there organization?... of course. If it did not have some level or organization, I would have to keep buying notions, fabric, cutting tools etc. But is it squeaky clean and neat all of the time? No, I am working in it. If you clean periodically and return tools, notions and fabrics to their places then that is enough.
I think you are on a good path to de-clutter by getting rid of what you don't use, magazines, excess fabric and so on. But do not be too harsh on yourself if your room is not picture perfect. Remember many of the photos on this site show beautiful rooms that have just be redesigned, re-organized or simply new rooms. Three cheers for those rooms but those same rooms at the end of a busy day may not look quite so perfectly clean and organized because they have again returned to "work rooms". Smile you are making progress!
