I can keep my sewing area organized, but it's a struggle. As for large amounts of time...yes, between doctor appointments for both of us. Can anyone ever use up their stash in reality? I have a lifetime amount of stash & yes I keep buying when something pretty catches my eye. Does it bore me? Not at all!! I have some gorgeous fabrics in my stash, but will probably always have to buy one more piece of something to finish projects. Always seems to happen. I have a lot of magazines I've saved & bring them to appointments with me to re-examine. The thing with this hobby or any other... either you're working, so have money & no time or you're not working so have plenty of time, but no money and that's the truth!! I hope you've done better! :-)
