I use to be. I made myself put all threads and bits of fabric in a trash holder. I bought a big beautiful basket, my stuff basket, and have it on my cutting table. I put everything that seems to collect while sewing in that basket, it's not laying all over. The stuff basket fills up fast and every so often I put everything away where it goes. I have baskets of scissors, seam ripper, and pin cushions sitting at different places in the room so I don't have to keep looking for one, just grab one where ever I'm at.
