I think you need a system, some rules for yourself and less projects happening at once. You can do it - and once you are organised, you'll be whizzing out projects faster than you can collect them!
I really do have a system that works for me. A 9x11 ft room holds all my supplies and fabrics, unless I'm currently using them. I used to have my machine in there also, but got to feeling isolated so I moved it to the sunroom. More light there also. By the end of this week everything should organized AGAIN!
Maybe 2010 will be better all around. 2009 was a bad year for us. Mother was ill from Jan to July, DH had three surgeries and started chemo, stepson moved in, plus concerned for my country. But on the home front things look better. DH is tolerating chemo very well, knock on wood and praise God. Mother is healthy at age 92. Stepson still here though, going back to school and working on getting back his life, just retired from the Navy.
So maybe I can finish those four quilts I need to make for family which will complete my goal. Then things for me to play with.
