Thanks for such a great post! You're absolutely right...time and space is also money. (Ask me how I know...I'm building a house right now.) I've pared down after moving from a home of 30 years to living in a construction zone. My new sewing space is very small and compact. As soon as my fabric stash starts to get too big, I'm critically aware of it, so I had better make something with it, or out it goes. I have an EBay store where I sell all those things from my past life, including quilting stuff.
That doesn't mean that I don't enjoy my quilting hobby. I love to quilt and can quilt to my hearts content with what I have. I rule it. It does NOT rule me. It's very refreshing to come to that conclusion and have my space manageable...have my LIFE manageable!
BTW, Your sewing room is sweet!
